If it prevents the sound from the speaker going elsewhere, it's going to
effect the sound it makes too.

The design of a speaker to go in a true infinite baffle like a ceiling is
likely to be very different from one designed to go in a small sealed box.

That's a beauty of ceiling mounting - a relatively inexpensive unit can
sound quite good.

Of course it's merely a comms speaker used for announcements etc it likely
doesn't matter much. But this specifically mentions domestic use.
