The 4310/4311 used the same drivers, but were inverted (tweeter on bottom) for the hang-it-high-above-the-window-to-the-studio mounting and had foam damping around the tweeter. They were essentially the same speaker.

They sounded best with stuff like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple where you wanted the peaky upper bass and elevated lower highs. I was always an "East Coast" sound kind of guy. As you indicated, the DQ-10 was an altogether superior musical reproducer.

I spent some time on the Genelec site and read their positioning guidelines. From their perspective, it is a bad thing for the speaker to be more than a meter away from the back wall. Funny, that's exactly the opposite of what I find works best. That's not surprising since they like to bury them in the wall, much less let them breathe and minimize room effects.

This sentence clearly shows that you don't have a clue. You'd better go and read some acoustics textbooks instead of those glossy audio magazines.
