LCR speakers
Yes.Kal 
LCR speakers
What is affected is the crossover between drivers and, of course, where that falls depends on the particular speaker. There are a few, well-designed for the purpose, center speakers but, in general, the best center is another of whatever is used f... 
Gallo 5LS prototype towers at the CES
It sounded pretty good but the music was unfamiliar.Kal 
?? is about ohms and i guess, bi-amping??
1. It is not likely that the impedance will change.2. That's biamping.3. Why would you want to bother? 
LCR speakers
In theory, any well-designed speaker can be LCR if used as intended. That means not turning it to be horizontal if it is normally used vertically. Most MTMs, in fact, are severely compromised by placing them horizontally, regardless of what the ma... 
Advantages of multiplying drivers?
Better horizontal imaging if the drivers are arranged vertically and if the cabinet width is reduced.Kal 
Speaker Bi-Wire...which frequency does it benefit?
Neither. But, then again, neither suffers.Kal 
Any benefits playing SACD's on Standard CD Player?
No advantage. You can only play the CD layer of the hybrid SACDs and those are, well, CDs. Kal 
Use Subwoofer crossover or processor crossover?
Yada spake: "I would use the unit with the best DSP to remedy problems with the bass nodes." Yup but that's another issue.Nodes, modes, notes? :-)Kal 
Use Subwoofer crossover or processor crossover?
Use processor crossover.Disable/bypass subwoofer crossover.Kal

In front? Above, below or blocking the screen? I am trying to find out exactly how it is positioned and that includes room arrangement, furnishings, listening position, etc.Kal

Where is the center speaker?Kal

Could be the settings for the others. Could be position. Could be acoustics of the room. Did you use pink-noise and a sound level meter?Kal

"I recall reading that the majority of center channel speakers have dispersion issues and using a virtual center would likely be better for on axis listeners." Other way 'round. The beaming and venetian-blind variation is a problem for off-axis li...

Actually, it is probably superior in its dispersion as a center channel speaker (and in its matching to the L/R) than so-called dedicated centers. I used one, for a while, as a center with a pair of Studio60s until I obtained a 3rd 60.Kal
