If so, a passive radiator (mass-loaded cone with no motor) is "just" another way of tuning a Helmholz radiator (a/k/a, in this context, a bass reflex box). There are some quantitative and qualitative differences, though.
FWIW, I've used speakers with PRs (Polk Monitor 7As) for almost 30 years.
There was an interesting thread on the topic at the Klipsch forums recently. See if the link below gets you there, if you're interested.
all the best,
