Instead of small I meant to say stiff. Oops.
Anyway, it could be that they added those pieces so as to fine-tune the internal volume.
If you knew the dimensions and MOE, you might be able to calculate it but it certainly is a lot easier to use an accelerometer.
i always do that, glue all the leftover pieces of wood on the inside of speaker panels...I am not sure if it helps theoretically or practicaly, but I do it anyway. What else can you do with odd cuts of wood? You can burn it, throw it away, or use it to make the box heavier and less resonant.
Dimensions of all the bracing (locations, cutouts, thicknesses, etc.) too.
Modulus of elasticity.
Why are you so concerned about this?
I would go further. Your cabinet can't be too stiff. Here is what I did. Notice the last shelf brace is itself braced against the end panels. Don't use mdf for bracing. 1" ply is much stiffer after cut-outs.

A further thought; these Sony speakers are $25,000.
Knowing the attention to detail that went into the design and manufacture of these speakers, and the extensive bracing inside, surely the designers would have to have a compelling reason to include the top and bottom braces? And wouldn't they have oriented them the way Planet 10 suggested?
