because they're both too young to remember such things I suppose :-)

My only acquaintance with the Wharfedale sand filled baffle is 2 run-ins with them a bit over 40 years ago. The first was with a mono system and a DIY speaker, the second in a stereo system with a DIY speaker where I seem to recall the second speaker was actually made by Wharfedale rather than DIY. Both systems had quite a few years on them at that stage. I have a vague recollection of the person who made the speaker in the first system saying that there was an inch thickness of sand in the baffle.

And those systems both pre-dated kitty litter by a couple of decades.

Haven't thought about those speakers in a long time. I think I can truthfully say that it was the impact of hearing that first system while I was still quite an impressionable youth which got me hooked on this hobby. I wonder what I'd think of that system if I heard it today.
