Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers.

I'm using a brand new (less than 10-hr) center Focal Chorus 800v ($400) for my 5.1 home theater, and it seems to have the body and warmness that I like. I'm curious what would it be if I purchase another one and use both as my front bookshelf/monitor for 2-ch listening?
Center speakers are strongly concentrated on voices & mids, so will they be very well wking together to get great soundstage, image, and disappearance?
Any1 done or gone this route please chime in.

The Focal CC 800v isn't ported like the bookshelf speakers in the Chorus series are, but having two 6-1/2 inch drivers should provide plenty of bass.

I sent Focal a message questioning in this regard but no reply from them...

I visited my local Focal dealer last Friday and asked the owner about doing this. It was obvious that he didn't like the idea, but said that he has done it for customers where it was the only option for the requested installation.

You can probably get most of your money back if you get another one for $400 so give it a try.
