I am planning to get bi-pole surround speakers to replace my current pioneer bookshelf speaker as surround. The question is how different it is using a bi-pole as surround compare to a book shelf speaker ? Is it a must to have bi-pole speaker mounted on the side of the listening position to have the maximum effect ?

5.1 or 7.1?

IMO, if sitting close to back wall bipole is the better choice than direct firing bookshelf type.
I have installed a pair Klipsch RS-52 and the effects are very enveloping indeed.

5.1 setup. Thanks for the advice Mikapoh. I believe Klipsch is very good but low on budget. I am planning to get a second hand MS903i.

Ok. Will go to the shop to test out the MS903i then. If all goes well, will have it by this weekend.

I personally prefer direct firing spkrs for surrounds n even thou its meant for ambience n some pops n whistles, its still prudent to hv as big a driver that u can afford to place in that location..
A decent sized bk shlv mounted on de wall will do nicely.. IMO
MS's are nice , even de older versions still sound very nice..

use direct firing if possible. Bipole and Dipole speakers if not position correctly will be a disaster !

Too much to explain, perhaps read yourself at forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=66471using a bookshelf or mono speaker will be much easier to handle, while using dipole or bipole, you need to know what you are trying to do. |

If you get it correctly, it is very rewarding. As I change my sys from 5.1 to 7.1, it is no longer a viable option for me to continue using it.
