Downward firing speaker port and domestic issues


I am considering getting a speaker with a downward firing port. I live in an apartment with wood construction between floors and am afraid of having a problem with the neighbor below me. Should I rule out for consideration this type of speaker?

Perhaps using a pair of Townshend Platforms would help decouple any bass that could migrate to the downstairs apt.

Though, to be honest, I own a floorstander with a bass port (Vandy Treo's), The amount of bass energy exiting is rather low.
