Default Query on 1980s Heybrook HB2

I recently came into an older pair of Heybrook HB2 loudspeakers for a
second system. These are apparently different from the current HB2, having
bextrene cone woofers. Each has one rear port and around the edge of this
port appears to be some residual foam that was apparently glued there. My
question is: Did this model in its original form have a foam plug or other
resistive loading (aperiodic) in the port? Or was this more likely a mod by
a previous owner?

Thank you in advance for any info and help.

I used to have a pair of HB2Rs purchased in 1986, these may be the same as
yours they did not have anything in the port.

I too had a pair of HB2's of original origin and these did not have any
restive port loading from memory. I never thought the ports needed any
adjustment in that manner unlike a pair of Epos ES14's that my mate aquired
at some later date.
