Midrange thru this flared port?

System is .35 cf internal, 160mm Dynaudio Esotec midbass.

Rear-mounted flared Precision Port will be 2" inner diameter x 2.75" length. Any particular reason to be concerned about midrange output through this port? I expect rear mounting minimizes such concerns but want to cover all bases.

I'm re-doing the cabinets. The earlier ports were straight 1-5/8" D x 3" L. A straight 2" D port would require 1.75" L for same air volume/same tuning. I added 1" L for the dual flared ends for 2.75" L.

The differences you will hear, if any, will be those associated with reduced air flow turbulance brought about by port flaring.
