I'm pretty sure if one of the leading authorities on sound reproduction research (Dr. Floyd Toole) decided to go through the expense and effort of hanging 150lbs., full sized speakers on his wall they probably do actually sound better than their bookshelf counterparts. And yes, he does integrate them with subs so they are not running full range even though they are one of the true full range floorstanding speakers that don't cost more than a house. Like I said, the only benefit to bookshelf speakers is if you need to actually put them on a bookshelf or wall.
That said I don't think those JBLs would be "better."
I don't own the 580s...I do have the 590s...and while those produce a nice wall of sound that the Polks couldn't..they would do so at the loss of that silky smooth detail from the Polk's tweeter.

Depends who you ask. For me I've done this several times including horizontal position(because of this argument).
In very basic terms here is my take:
If it's a single seat directly in front, yes sounded good.
Was it better than a center, depends on the center but it's subtle if it is.
Add more seating and you lose any real benefit and IMO wasn't better.
Many people tow in there fronts for a reason, just because you use it as a center doesn't change that.
Horizontally…NO, we all looked at each other like WTH! It's pretty obvious why if you think about it.
The irony here is people understand the benefits of having "identical" LCR's but when it comes to all the other speakers many times people disregard the benefit or say it's not really important!!! 🤷🏻 ♂️
The quality and dispersion of the speaker plays a role here also.
I would add that of all the times I did it, no one would continue doing it even if they could.
Using three is identical front speakers is the gold standard. The common horizontal center speaker is a compromised design.
""the center channel must reproduce all that content smoothly and predictably across all your seats. If you're sitting perfectly in front of the center channel, having multiple drivers of the same type in a horizontal configuration can do the job just fine. But if you move slightly off-axis, or as any of the other seats will realize, having horizontally-aligned redundant drivers will cause some frequencies to be canceled and some to be reinforced.""
""To get the most cohesive performance out of perhaps the most important channel in your home theater, strive for getting a center channel that is identical to your mains.""

WARNING! The preceding article contains science and measurements. 😂😂
If you have a bit more space, I would highly recommend the Infinity 263 Center. That thing is a monster so you need a bunch of space, but I think it is the best center for a JBL setup.
That said, the 590s are A LOT of speaker sound-wise too. It isn't about low volume listening (which I agree, they're awesome at), it is about how they fit into an overall system. In a 2.0/2.1, the 590s are perfect (if you have the room). In a theater setup, no amount of Audyssey calibration will be able to cover the fact that the 590s will dominate every other speaker in the room. If you go with an all JBL Studio 5 series setup for a 5-7 speaker theater, the 590s will overwhelm every other speaker in the setup. Having 590s as your front left and right basically guarantees you need a 580/590 center because there isn't a center in this price bracket that will fit in naturally with that system and again, I bet 1% of consumers in this bracket can fit 3 towers FL/FC/FR.
And to be totally honest, as amazing as the 590s are, you still need subs in a home theater setup and if you're not taking advantage of the additional low end of the 590s, you might as well save some money (and physical space) and go 580s because the mids and highs are not worth the substantial price increase.
So tl;dr - 590s are THE speaker to get in a 2.0/2.1 listening setup (pairing these with a quality vinyl setup will rock your entire world at any volume level). In a typical living room or TV room setup, go down to 570 or 580 and save some space and money. If you're building a home theater from scratch, three 590s across the front is end game just make sure you have a few feet of space behind.
