It's not "small", though.
The wires from each of the driver baffles in my HE-560 obstruct up to half of the enclosure.
Seriously, if you don't believe me, put a finger up next to the opening in the back, and then tell me the sound doesn't change?
If something as small as "fazor" could make a difference, then that "small wire" would make a difference acoustically because it's diffusing the wave that's traveling to the back.
A finger has a dozen times more obstructive surface area than the wire, of course it has an effect.
The fazor is a big block of solid aluminum mounted onto the driver face that covers the whole surface in a specific manner.
Again, the wires are trivial because they provide so little surface for anything to happen...Dunno why you're making such a huge deal out of it when there are much bigger things at play (pad-swapping, grills, baffle variations, etc).
