Any speaker can be mass loaded. I put a BDR Shelf on top of my Moabs. Anything that adds mass is mass loading.
Anything you put inside will not only add mass, it will also take up volume, which will change the resonant character of the speaker. Mass will also change the vibrational signature a bit. Mass is only one property of matter. There is also stiffness and damping factor. These three properties combine to give whatever sound change you hear.
I've done this stuff enough to know it does make a difference. How much difference, whether you think the difference is good or bad, all depends on what you want and how you do it.
A much better approach, in terms of bigger/better results, is to put the speaker on springs, either cheap ones like Nobsound or expensive but really good ones like Townshend.
