Coated woofer - why?


An old (20+ years) speaker with multiple previous owners has a coated woofer - why would this mod be made?  What are the implications for SQ?  Speaker is a LS35A type with original KEF B110 woofer.

Thanks guys, glad to have learned a bit today.  Wish I could have seen the post that was deleted, I am sure I missed out on a nasty clever bit of advice, hopefully it was a pun.  I was expecting a “cuz its cold” but ebm must have been much better.

Anyway, simonmoon, this was certainly a mod as other speakers of the same brand/type do not have this look, a glossy blackish kinda coating, and the owner mentions the coating.
