Let me ask this: if a horizontal center speaker is so bad, why oh why do I see so many of them specifically built to be oriented horizontally? It seem so self-defeating in nature.

I know what you mean!

I would have to think the horizontal nature of these speakers are simply due to the placement - directly under your viewing source. A "vertically challenged" speaker works best for most viewing set ups.

Also, Big Daddy - great info. I had no idea. How audible is the difference though?
