I have a pair of Fxi3s Surounds monuted to each side of the listening area. The are set for dipole. I had a wild hair that I wanted to also hook the rear surround channels. I am looking at using another pair of Fxi3s to mount on the rear wall and set to bipole. I got to thinking about the speakers being at an angle and wondered if the side mounted dipoles and the rear mounted bipoles would cancel each other out or degrade the sound. If so is there another rear surround that would work better. i have a bid in on a pair of Fxi3 and would need to cancel tonight if this will not work. Thanks for the help.
