I need a compact stereo pair, can I use a compact center speaker (which is stereo) as a front pair in a small cabinet?
 
If it is a center channel speaker it won't be stereo. If it has 2 pair of terminals (usually vertically placed) and the positive and negatives are connected together it is a bi-wireable mono center channel. That won't work for you.
If it has separate left and right inputs then it is a soundbar with two channels and it will work. Check the instructions to be sure.
