Hey guys/gals I need a little help. I just received a pair of FxiA4's to use as my sides and put my Rti4's in the rear of a 7.1 setup. My room is roughly 12Wx22Lx10H. I have Rti12's as main Csi5 as center and a HSU VTF 15H as sub. I just wanna know whats the best mode bipole or dipole for 70% HT-30% Music? Any and all input would be much appreciated. Thanks again :wink::wink:

    Try both and see which sounds better to you. I have my A6's set to dipole.

    Agree with KiT, try both. I have the A6's set to bipole - set-up as rear surrounds.

    The guys at Polk Customer Service in Baltimore recommend dipole mode on the sides and bipole mode in back.
