As a general rule, which is more advantageous for home use: MTM (WTW) speakers like Rey Audio or Augspurger, or large floor-standing horn speakers like the M2?

Hello

Don't think there is one, all about preference they can both work well.

I've been down this rabbit hole before. There are two major aspects that I concluded to. It has to do with the difference between the energy coming from the ceiling. With a TM the ceiling energy will be brighter. With a MTM, the energy coming from the floor versus the ceiling will be more uniform, within context of ceiling height... Another way to look at it is, a higher spl of reflective energy from the woofers coming for the ceiling. Some describe it as being more focused and in comparison I would say that the TM would be slightly more airy.

This is why I chose TM instead of MTM. Lower levels of SPL from the ceiling will make the ceiling sound further away.

Beyond that, it would be a preference thing but one could debate mtm having a better image.
