Good point, Double.An MTM design is capable of superb imaging, but the timbre (influenced by the in-room response) often isn't as rich because an MTM is particularly directional just below the crossover frequency. I was building MTM's long before D'Apppolito's paper, and abandoned the approach in favor of MT's with correspondingly more expensive (higher quality) drivers. Incidentally, D'Appolito's design covered not only the MTM geometry, but also interdriver offset and true 3rd-order acoustical crossover for a symmetrical-summing fill of the vertical radiation pattern. My choice would now generally be a WMT over an MTM design, as an appropriately-designed WMT usually does more of the things that I think matter most.
