Hah, I'm so breaking this rule. I currently have a Monitor 40 bookshelf on its side as a front until my new front comes in. Talk about a reduced sweet spot! Aesthetically it being on the side is something I have to do. The Def Tech CLR 2002 is meant to go either way, so I'll be curious to mess with it but in the end it'll be on its side.
There's really no reason that speaker companies can't make the center channel with a wider horizontal dispersion when laid sideways- curving the cabinet, or turning the speakers out a bit.
