Vitually, yes...The bottom two are side by side (upright), in the vertical centreline with the top speaker..
Both cannot be in the vertical centerline if they are side-by-side. They will interfere with each other.

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..
This is such an odd-ball setup that no lessons can be drawn from it. If it floats your boat, fine.
