Dispersion characteristics of this monitor audio speaker when used as a center channel?

[No_hair_left]

Considering using 3 or these as an lcr in a small room with the on wall surface mounts.
https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/creator-series/w3m/ this is a 3 way speaker has a rotatable tweeter so it can be used as a typical center channel but with no measurements it's hard to gauge how its horizontal performance would be,
in this video of the gold 6g which looks to use the same layout of the creator series I'm looking at....... at 4:47

it looks to be bad but would that translate to this speaker too?

I am also considering the https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/ca/product-ranges/creator-series/w2m/ which is also a 3 way with rotatable tweeter but uses a different tweeter.

My options are those or the perlisten r4i with r5i center but the cost shoots up to stupid high by that point and I'm not sure I would want to pay that knowing I will never be able to have perlisten surrounds due to placement and space. Monitor audio at least have quite a good eco system of surrounds ect.

3-way centers can have great horizontal directivity (or vertical directivity if mounted vertically), as long as the crossover is designed well, so that

1: the woofer->mid xover is low enough that you avoid cancellation between the woofer pair

and

2: all crossovers are sufficiently steep for minimal overlap.

This means that the driver configuration and loudspeaker dimensions alone do not indicate the speaker's directivity uniformity.

It's the combination of the above with the crossover design (and potential waveguides) that dictate the off-axis response.

To get a feel for this, have a look at the Spinorama database:

None of those other then the kefs or really expensive ones look that good.
