I have always heard it best to use a vertical floorstander at center, unfortunately most (including me) don't have the room to accomodate such a design, so we compensate with these horizontal space friendly arrays. Excellent article though, in my dream system I would have a projection screen and have it high enough off the ground that I could throw in a vertical center, and all 5 of my speakers would exactly match.
