AND AGAIN this is more of my opinion....

Using the mid ranges and a 3.9 c to c, and 12 of them, your vertical height is only 55 inches. You need 70% of the distance from the floor to ceiling to get a line array coupling. Additionally listening at 14 feet won't put you in the nearfield for such a line array, and your one tweeter will not be enough to put listening in the nearfield.

The lack of coupling with the ceiling and floor, and the lack of nearfield listing, will make the whole system not a line array but a big point source system.

Your single tweeter will not give you the incredible low distortion that the multiple array tweeter does, nor will it give you the nearfield or coupling.

I would have to say that unless you make major modifications in your plan, I would go with a much less labor intensive standard HT system with a center channel.
