Horizontal floor-standing speaker?
We are building a custom wall unit home entertainment center for the TV, components, etc. and don't know if the configuration of the unit could support enough space for floor-standing speakers. Does anyone know how it would sound if the floor-standing speakers that we have are placed horizontally in the middle row on the sides of the unit?

Well you can try it.
Unless the are a D'Appolito arrayed speaker the best you can do it to see how they sound. Generally speaking I would be more concerned with the tweeters so close to the floor rather than whether or not they are horizontal.

I've heard a setup that used 3 horizontal THX center channel speakers and it worked great. The setup I heard used the centers from the Atlantic Tech 8200 system:

They would work far better than laying a florstanding speaker that is meant to be vertical on it's side.
