Just bought a pair of fx500i surrounds.
What exactly is the difference with dipole vs bipole setting?

Here's a page from my manual stating the different settings based on speaker placement. Let your ears be the final judge.

Thanks for info. Just wondering what bipole/dipole means or does? W

Bipole means the drivers are firing in phase (pushing out at the same time); dipole means they are firing out of phase (one is pushing while the other is pulling).
