I did make 1 change though, I only put 3 of those patio pavers in the bottom of the cabinets instead of the 6 that were in there before.
?? So what didn't you like about OB other than they need to be EQ'd to get a good tonal balance?

?? If you're adding weight to your open back cabs, short of strapping them to the floor under tension, its best to mass load them from the top, i.e. slate, marble or similar top plate with a thin felt or similar pad isolating it is what I used since I could get them from a local mine outlet and cut to size pretty cheap.

When space permits, a large, heavy potted plant helps with those folks with WAF issues. One dude with exceptionally wide cabs framed the top and added a mini garden in each and a neighbor spanned the speakers with a sturdy shelf and set a large saltwater fish tank on top.

Of course, the speaker must have interlocked vertical, horizontal bracing tying all six sides together, so that it can't 'balloon' out under a heavy weight.
