In my particular case, it would do rather nicely on my lowboy equipment stand with some type of sound isolating shelf. Otherwise I think that a stand with more than one support pillar would work really well (the Paradigm CC-690 center channel comes in at 69lbs!) and I'm sure others will have some good ideas too.
If its price could be that of a single M80 ($650) or reasonable close then I think it would be a real winner with the dedicated home theatre crowd. Why not have a third choice as in the towers and bookshelves?

JohnK, I have about 30" of clearance under my projector screen when it is down, so sadly none of the towers will fit vertically.
This is why I went with dual M22's. I have no complaints. They sound great. Oddly though, right up close and touching they seams to cancel each other out and didn't sound right. When I moved them around 20" apart, they sounded much, much better.
What would be cool, is an fat M22 with one large 6.5" and one 5" driver instead of the two 5-er's. Now that would be sweeeeetttt!

Dang Michael, the more I hear you guys talking about how good the dual M22s centers sound the more you keep having me consider.

If its any consolation, my dual M3s sound wicked too, I think its time to join the "Dual Bookshelf Centre" club, Rick...

I have thought about this also. We would need some sort of wicked wall-mount bracket or a really big stand for it. How would you envision mounting it or were you thinking of just putting it sideways on the floor?
Flat bottom as the existing VP's, but with threaded mounting points for dual stands - one at each end. The top part of the stand should have a pivot point to tilt up and down. Offer 3 different heights, with a 20% premium for custom height.

Oh sure, you COULD do it that way. What are you... some kind of engineer or wise guy or something?

Had 5 minutes before I had to run out and do a call. It was just rambling off the top of my head. Sorry if it came off as arrogant.
To answer your question, though - Part wiseguy, part engineer wannabe, part reacher.....
