No! The idea predates Blumlein, even! The famous stereo demo of April 27,
1933 used a center channel, after Bell Labs engineers spent considerable
amount of time testing various configurations of miking with two and three
channels, playback with two and three channels, and matrixing three channel
audio for transmission over two channels.


OK, duly noted. But my point is the same: the concept of a center channel
speaker goes back 90 years. And it is important to prevent the "hole in the
middle" balance problem from bad listening positions.


Yes, but read the paper! _Everything_ related to three-channel use is in
there, including upmatrixing and downmatrixing and listening tests. It is
very very cool! The effect you describe is specifically addressed! You
will just boggle at the amount of careful work put into this stuff by the
Bell Labs team in preparation for a single demo.
