IMHO there is no need for dipole speakers any longer due to the advanced surround playback capabilities of receivers coupled with the well recorded soundtracks on DVDs. i tried dipoles once and could not stand them. i prefer direct firing speakers for head turning positional sound.
to be brutally honest, i felt that dipoles held the sound back. direct firing speakers are more revealing and more fun IMHO.

try them out. i doubt you'll be disappointed.
