    bookshelves or towers. Bi/dipole's aren't meant to be for music, they're designed for movies. Bipoles will work but still can't beat a set of bookshelves.
    Never kick a fresh **** on a hot day.

    Home Setup: Sony VPL-VW85 Projo, 92" Stewart Firehawk, Pioneer Elite SC-65, PS3, RTi12 fronts, CSi5, FXi6 rears, RTi6 surround backs, RTi4 height, MFW-15 Subwoofer.

    Car Setup: OEM Radio, RF 360.2v2, Polk SR6500 quad amped off 4 Xtant 1.1 100w mono amps, Xtant 6.1 to run an eD 13av.2, all Stinger wiring and Raammat deadener.

    Take a lok at the insert in any Sony SACD, it states that for the best sound use 5 identical speakers. Not really practical for most people really.

    Toxis,
    I disagree with your assertion that bi/di-pole speakers were "designed" for movies. The design has nothing to do with movies or music, it has to do with creating a sound stage that is seamless and not directional like a conventional speaker. Although they bi/dipole speakers may not be a panacea, don't be too quick to claim that they are inferior to a bookshelf speaker. There are far to many variables to consider before recommending one over the other, room size/configuration not withstanding. I've been continually amazed at the sound of my FX's and have tried using my 7's instead and always go back to the FX's.
