Here is the answer they gave to me when I asked them about their center speakers:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Nikos,
The horizontal directivity of our MTM center speakers is fine in the real world.
It will fit most applications and is not really an issue.
Of course, we are aware of the downsides but we have tested a lot in development and they work great in a typical setup.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My response to this:
What do you mean they are fine in the real world? There are measurements that show that they are fine for 15 degree angle. (Vertical directivity of the monitor is the horizontal directivity of the center see attachment.)
In real world and for small distances that's almost only the MLP.
No offence, you make GREAT speakers but you cannot beat the laws of physics.

Their answer :
Hi Nikos,
I mean in real-world scenarios with normal room acoustics and normal listening distances it is very hard to hear a difference between the angles.
We are aware of the measurements and physics.
Of course, it will be an individual thing.
But without testing and hearing it in your room I would not just reject an MTM center.
That is all I am saying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I find interesting is the confidence they have for the MTM thing, that even measurements show that it is not optimal.
