I'd be worried about horizontal lobing and try to mount the tweeter above the woofers.
How many people will be listening to this?

I would watch the Center to center distance but at 750Hz you certainly have more room. How wide is your horn?? Clasic MTM is distance equals 1/2 wavelength at crossovers. I use the Array 880 as the center in my HT set-up, even though it's an MTM it sounds very smooth off axis. You can't hear any obvious lobing issues. It also has the horn vertical though and that helps minimze the C to C distance. The woofers are twin 8"s.

Well with a 20" horn and another 10" at the least for C to C I would definately drop them under the horn. Wavelength is only 18" ay 750 hz. You would want 9" C to C you are not going to make that with the horn in the center. What are you using the 9800 horn clone?
