I used to have the CC370 and I did not have a peak either. That is most likely your room and the placement of the speaker. Try putting the 370 on the stand. I thought the 370 was a pretty good center when I had it. In fact, the v3 was much better than the v2 because they changed the positioning of the tweeter from directly inline to slightly above, which I felt helped the sound noticably.
Annunaki, the main reason I can see for using dual drivers for the center is because you get a symmetric horizontal image and because the additional driver gives you greater sensitivity, which theoretically should help with dialogue.
M&K are one of the few manufacturers who do not use a MTM, but rather their same conventional TMM array (which is identical to the mains), including the slight angle to the tweeter. I felt this center sounded just as good as any other, but it still uses dual drivers. I don't think that answered your question though...
