They have one centre speaker mounted above the screen and one mounted under the screen..
In compensation for other problems but not ideal.

Angling a single centre speaker up or down can sometimes have an adverse effect..particularly with centre speakers that have rear firing drivers and or ports
Instead of directing the sound towards the centre line of the screen, the sound becomes more localized, infact not angling the speaker can sometimes work better..
Rear firing drivers are already suboptimal unless they are cutoff below 200Hz or so and angling also is compensating for sub-optimal placement.

The result of this setup is that I get good strong pinpoint voice location across the entire screen, with no emphasis above or below the horizontal centre line of the screen..
Again, it is in compensation for being unable to place the speaker where it should be (and I acknowledge the difficulty without an AT screen). Are all three in the same vertical axis?
