I assume you refer to the triangular deflector? Its absence sure isn't going to help anything. You're bound to get a lot of reflections off the back side of the cabinet. They'll come right back through the thin cone of the driver and mess with the imaging...
If you are careful, it shouldn't be too much trouble to cut a deflector of the correct side, then glue it down into proper position. Keep the cabinets lying on their back while you work. You might need a medium length stick with some tape on the end to help you position the deflector. I know that on the Saburo, there is enough room to fit my hand down there, but I don't know about Mikasa...
Yes; the triangular deflector. That makes sense what you're saying and I thank you. I just need to figure out what dimensions to make the deflector. Silly question but why aren't there reflections coming through cones of conventional speakers?
Thank you!

There are.
Boxes, damping, cone thickness, material, shape, frequencies involved all play a role in how much.

Understood. So should the Mikasas use polyfil or does the horn design dampen the speaker naturally?
