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?

Vitually, yes...The bottom two are side by side (upright), in the vertical centreline with the top speaker..
I originally tried it with just one at the bottom, but the top big one ( which has 7 speakers in a 3 way crossover system) is an 6 ohm unit and is more efficient than the bottom 2 way 6 ohm speaker..So I parallel wired the two bottom speakers, and series connected the top speaker, giving an approx. total overall of 9 ohms..The Receiver is set to 8 ohms..
This just about perfectly matched the efficiency of all the speakers..

I only claim that this is only practical when using centre speakers that have rear firing speakers and or ports..
If one is using a standard sealed system or a bass reflex system with front ports, then one speaker above or below the screen is all that is needed..
