Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Just curious.

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
