Using a speaker designed for vertical placement horizontally can sound ok on axis, but moving off to the left or right will generally quickly degrade the quality as you introduce comb filtering and lobing.

Good points but this is more of an issue when using an MTM that crosses over at 2k ish.If he built it with the tweeter above the mid and placed the woofers close to either side then lobing should not vbe an issue as the woofers crossover to the mids at 400hz.The wider baffle may accentuate the lower mids though.
