That's what I use. And its because my center channel is the best system I 've
ever encountered from 80 Hz and upward anytime and anywhere.

Just because its located behind a large microperf screen doesn't make it any
less useful. And that doesn't make a more expensive but worse performing
horizontally arrayed system any better

I have NHT superones all around, and I have the center speaker
on top of my RPTV, flush with the edge, mounted vertically but
with tweeter end down,
tilted slightly forward to 'aim' at the sweet spot.

I have no idea if this actually improves the sound, but it seemed to make
sense at the time. ; My idea was that the center output, being emitted
a foot or so higher up than mains, is closer to being aligned to the
mains tweeters, if I put the center speaker upside down and tilt it forward.
Front to back distance diffeerence is compensated for by center delay
adjustment.
