About using a vertical vs. horizontal MMG for the center, I would expect horizonal to be better for HT use.

Partly this is because a lot of the reason to have a center is to expand the soundstage. Maggies, especially MMGs, change sound pretty dramatically when one stands up. By staying horizontal, the center could be aimed at a couch and 3 people seated could enjoy something resembling a sweet spot. You would not get this using an MMG vertically; I wouldn't expect it to sound great even on either side of the couch.

A second reason is practical. There isn't enough room for a vertical MMG, monitor, and sound equipment in most of our living rooms. Horizontal is likely much easier to fit.

Looks like a fun setup!
