In glancing around this forum, I noticed that a year ago, Dave F. was talking about introducing a multi-(bi, di, quad?)polar surround speaker. Just wondering how that is coming along and whether we can expect it to show up in 2006?

I'd be very very interested in a diffuse surround speaker from Ascend. It is the only area I have found lacking in the Ascend line-up. I happen to agree with THX and Dolby that a bi or di-pole speaker directly to either side with monopole surround back speakers most accurately recreates the movie theater soundfield in the home while offering an acceptable compromise for multi-channel music.

Anywho, just thought with all the news of the SE models that some info on these surround speakers may be available now
