Because speakers of any kind are never in the middle of a room. The "amazing soundstage" comes from splashing the HF all over the wall behind them and drenching you in early reflections and diffusion - effectively, you're adding a little bit of reverb, except it isn't a controlled reverb it's "whatever your room sounds like". The Beolab 5s, at least, shoot for a 180 degree soundfield rather than 360.
