Flipping the way a speaker is designed to be used is not recommended. Can interfere with proper sound dispersion. Although, I still wonder about flipping the VP160 from horizontal to vertical. Even though this practice is not recommended, it seems the VP160 center could handle this well, as vertical L/C/R behind an AT (acoustically transparent) screen. Although M80/M60 would probably be better suited for this purpose. I'm thinking in-cabinet designs mounted in the wall behind the screen.
What got me thinking about using the VP160 in this way is the short distance from left and right speaker (or rather top and bottom speaker, when rotated). When mounting behind a 2.40:1 screen it puts all the speakers closer to ear level. With the M60/M80 it would put the tweeters closer to the ceiling unless you flip it. Then it would put the woofers closer to the ceiling. We're talking about a ceiling that is a little under 7 foot.
