I have had the KEF Q150s for a while (they were the ones before the meta line) and got the pair on a similar deal ($600 marked down to $300).
For the price they're very hard to beat, and if you want to do a Left, Center, and Right channel setup you can easily buy two of these pairs and sell off your spare speaker. You won't necessarily need the Q6 Meta or Q250c for a center.

I've had the q150 and the q1 for my rears and they are relatively similar. The wide stage and clarity these speakers present is absolutely insane especially for this price point.

These need an amplifier to drive them, but they should deliver better audio quality than the KEF LSX II LT from Costco.

The Q series can be laid either horizontally or vertically right?

That is correct. These have a single coaxial speaker so orientation doesn't effect the sound the way speakers with separate tweeters are effected. The drawback is they tend to be lacking on the low end, so they benefit from being used with a subwoofer tremendously. I recently set up my home theater with 3.1 system with 3 q150s and I really like them.

I have a pair of Infiniti r162s and a pair of Revel M16s, which I do not have matching centers for, was wondering if a q150, q1, q350 would make good center speaker.

The Lsx has BT and WiFi which make them great for wireless setups. You need to make sure your receiver has BT. If it doesn't and you end up connecting them via wires then you are much better off with these.

I had the Q150s for about a day or so, ended up returning them to BB..
Apparently I'm an outlier, but I didn't like how they sounded - kind of 'tinny', and lacking in the low end range as someone else already mentioned.
