Pro/Con Floorstanding VS Monitor, which's better?


If both speakers have the same design, i.e MTM or any one tweeter and 2 mid subs, what is the benefit of the floorstanding over monitor speakers (so except for the cabinet, everything else is the same)?

I would think that a floorstander would go a bit deeper, but not sure if that's correct.

Also which one should be a better speaker, over all?

thanks,

Good question... since we're talking about speakers with comparable performance, I'd probably go with monitors with a good set of speaker stands, in large part because I prefer the aesthetics of monitors. But having good monitors pretty much calls for having good speaker stands--the stands have a big effect on performance.
