If you are referring to adding damping to the back of your existing OB speakers that you are already happy with, I would expect that the damping would alter the response. Whether it is to the better or worse can only be found out through experiments.
If for a brand new design, I can see the merit of adding damping to the back of a OB, at least in theory. My next speakers will be U-frame dampped OB. I will only find out if I like it better when I built the thing. I can see all the advantages and disadvantages in theory, and in general, advantages over disadvantages.
