Harbeth SHL5 XD Weighs Less Than Its Predecessor

I just noticed,

SHL5+ = 17.2kg each
SHL5+ XD = 15.8kg each

Does anybody know the physical changes that caused the reduced weight? I'm not sure if it's a similar pattern with the other models.

On Stereophile's specs page, the weight of the Super HL5plus is 15.8kg...
And this is from the Australian Hi-Fi magazine review of the Super HL5plus:

"As with the top, bottom, sides and rear panel, the front baffle of the Super HL5plus
is also made from 8mm-thick MDF that’s been veneered on both sides, and these thin
panels are the reason you’ll find it very easy to lift these speakers onto their stands
— each cabinet weighs only 15.8kg
 
I guess it is a typing mistake on the Harbeth website and it is 16,8kg, because with all the other models the weight has stayed the same.
