Using a center speaker as only surround speaker?


I would like to know how detrimental it would be to my HT listening experience if I placed a Sonus Faber Piccolo (bi-wireable) center as my only surround speaker. The other bad news is that it would go on the middle back wall above my couch.

Reason for this madness - I want to timbre match my Sonus faber fronts (Concertinos-L&R and Piccolo Solo- C) I cannot get my hands on the "Wall" model and cannot afford a pair 2nd pair of Concertinos at this time.

I am sure there are a hundred problem areas, but any input would be deeply appreciated.

Surround ony add a little ambience. Yes you can do what you want, it will not be bad at all.
The rear surround only carry about 5% (to 10% at most)of the signal.
Go for it. Timbre matching will do you well. If that's all you can do for placement then don't think twice and enjoy!
Is your couch against the back wall?

Also, are you planning to just connect L or R rear channel?
