Mounting Kef Q4 "upside down"

[Aprude51]

Hoping to get some advice on mounting Kef Q4s in my home theater/office due to their side port. I ended up with these as a space compromise because of where my door is in the room (probably went too big with the projector screen...). I have a quite capable subwoofer I'll be pairing them with, so felt the low-end extension compromise was okay.

My issue is this: I need to mount the speakers right next to the screen, but that means on the left side the port will be facing right into the frame of the projector. Since the speakers have a concentric driver is it okay to mount them upside down so the port faces away from the projector frame?

Note: I've been temporarily using my Revel F35s in here, but they need to be returned to their rightful place in the living room

There shouldn't be any issue mounting them upside down (you can mount a regular 2-way TM speaker upside down with no issues as well). Although I also wouldn't expect much issue from having the port oriented towards the projector frame, unless the speaker is literally pressed right up against it.

I wouldn't worry as long as the port has enough room to "breathe". Bass wavelengths are long so they easily go-round stuff. 100Hz has a wavelength of about 10 feet.
