The tone generator is producing a single tone and the speaker behaves accordingly for each tone. The only difference is that the amp is outputting a number of single tones simulataneously. A center channel is designed for replicating dialog, not full range. If your trying to push any amount of serious bass, then a center channel will fail as will any standmount with the equivalent driver size from the same speaker series.

I like clear voices and articulation which the center speaker is said to provide. I dont think I can hear a lot of low or high frequencies, one ear being particularly weak. I would say a center speaker alone may be good for me, positioned vertically with the tweeter between the mid drivers in that good Doctor's ( I keep forgetting his name) arrangement a la Usher.

Not every speaker with a vertical woofer-tweeter-woofer configuration is a D'Appolito array.
A true D'Appolito has to have tweeter and woofer coils aligned in the same vertical plane and use 3rd order filters in the crossover to function as intended.
The old woofer tweeter woofer arrangment on the same horizontal axes suffers from combing affects if you venture far from center. Better center channel designs move the tweeter off the horizontal axes. The trade off is a higher cabinet that may not fit into a user's current setup.
I think in the end the OP just wants a singe music speaker.Why not just get something that was designed and intended solely for musical use - 1/2 a stereo speaker set.
I think what the OP really needs is the best off axis listening possible.
In my early days I did try a D'Appolito design. They seem to have a very narrow sweet spot in all planes.
