Speaker on its side as a center?

I am curerntly using a B&W 804 as a center with 2x 804's as mains. 2x 805's as rear. The center 804 was one of a pair, but I lost one courtesy of the shipper. I would like to lay the center 804 on its side under the plasma TV. Idea is to have this on some kind of a shelf structure under the TV platform. Any thoughts on performance of a speaker on its side? thanks.

I use 6 identical speakers for my 6.1 system. I was laying the center on its side for esthetic purposes, but tried standing it up to hear the difference. There definitely was one. Tweeter dispersion patterns and all, I believe.

Only way to know is to try it out and see what works for you, your room and your speakers. I would certainly give it time in any position to see what you think. It's not really an A-B in 5 minutes type of test IMHO.

Enjoy,
Bob
