I had the idea of converting my TMM speakers to MTM. Apart from aestethics, is it worth the effort? Some praise that MTM sounds better, but some say it makes them have a narrower sweet spot.
Well, the first question (and it's a serious one) is 'what are you trying to achieve?'.
Both can work perfectly well, but will almost certainly exhibit different polar responses unless the crossover is high order at a very low frequency, so that in itself changes the resulting presentation. Typically an MTM is more directional on the vertical axis than a TM (or MT), although whether it is with a TMM will depend on the design. Assuming a 2-way both will probably be more directional than a straight TM / MT, albeit in different ways.

I'm just like how MTM looks compared to TMM. And obviously curious to hear how they would sound in this configuration.
They're 2-way crossed with a sub at around 90Hz, and the crossover is 24dB/oct electronic.

Have you balanced the directivity index through the crossover on the TMMs yet? You seem uncertain of the results.
I'm not sure what that means.
The crossover is an electronic Linkwitz-Riley with nothing in terms of alignment (basically just the filters).
