Actually Brian Cheney names his speakers and usually keeps it rather simple.The QSO626 is a Standmount Monitor, but I doubt Brian even considered the need to designate it as such for any reason.
As I posted in another thread, the term "monitor" describes a FUNCTON, and terms like StandMount, or FloorStander describe a FORM.
Logically it would closely track the term "video monitor" as a function, and Flat Screen, Front Projection, Rear Projection, CRT, etc would describe a form.
A speaker monitors audio content. The form is what might determine the difference in performance in that monitoring function.
Quite often terms take on a "traditional" use which may not align with the more accurate use of a term.
FYI EDIT: QSO stands for Quasi-Second Order refering to the X-over
