Why didn't you use an LS50 as center?

Given that your L and R speakers are Kef LS50's. I've always thought most center speakers are compromised designs due to their horizontal driver arrangement, which leads to comb filtering.

A single LS50 as a center would seem like the ideal design, given its concentric tweeter and woofer arrangement (perhaps "concentric" is not the right word, but you know what I mean), and its wide, uniform horizontal dispersion dispersion.

I am curious because I am thinking of getting a single LS50 to use as a center speaker. I also wonder whether it could be used on its side, or whether sideways placement would eliminate its wide dispersion.
