Since it's impossible to make a totally rigid speaker cabinet some
makers take into account any 'output' from the cabinet itself. Think
the first to do this was the Spendor BC1. Which was designed to be
mounted on an open stand about 9" high. Adding mass to the cabinet -
like putting books on top - would negate the design theory.



The Rogers 'BBC Studio Monitors' I had here a while back were
'thinwall/resonating' types and sounded very good indeed,


Probably the same family as the BC1 - from an original BBC design study.

apart from the
rasping bass unit I couldn't cure - without spending a lot of money and
maybe changing the speakers characteristics too much, in any case....


I suppose you tried inverting the driver?



Sure - first port of call after turning the whole box upside down; then I
tried all sorts of fiddling about before I spoke to DK Loudspeakers:
