Using a center speaker as only surround speaker?

I would like to know how detrimental it would be to my HT listening experience if I placed a Sonus Faber Piccolo (bi-wireable) center as my only surround speaker. The other bad news is that it would go on the middle back wall above my couch.

Reason for this madness - I want to timbre match my Sonus faber fronts (Concertinos-L&R and Piccolo Solo- C) I cannot get my hands on the "Wall" model and cannot afford a pair 2nd pair of Concertinos at this time.

I am sure there are a hundred problem areas, but any input would be deeply appreciated.

The couch is against the backwall - I am hoping position the center on its back or angled up at the ceiling may create a better surround effect.

I was planning on just L or R and tell the receiver (pioneer elite vsx-29tx) that only one speaker is connected.

Any tips or experiments would be appreciated

Ok - I will do some experimenting. I think flat on the back on the floor is going to be my first test.

I am pretty sure I can select just one speaker for the rears - I am using an old pioneer elite vsx-29tx, but thanks for letting me know in case I am wrong.
