I don't have a way to fire the surrounds accross my listening area.
Any rec's? I think I like the idea of the Axiom q8's.
Oh BTW, what is the difference between dipole and bipole?

erm sorry to have sort of hijacked this thread.
I guess I could post this on it's own thread.
Dipole means the two sets of drivers, wired out of phase, firing in opposite directions giving it a very diffuse sound. being out of phase generally cancels out most of the bass response.
Bipole means there are two sets of drivers, wired in phase, firing in opposite directions to give a "bigger" sound. The QS-8's are wired in phase and are quad-polar, meaning they fire in four seperate directions.
