Honestly, I don't see any advantage to using two speakers as a center channel instead of one. Also, most "center channel" speakers are deceptive in that the wider format spreads the sound on more of a vertical axis rather than a wider horizontal axis. They're built more for looks than sound.
Personally, I use three matched speakers in the front and it works great.
