    I would set them to Dipole to create that "null" effect. I have my sourround set to Dipole and its amazing hear sounds thats enveloping and cannot be pinpointed. But give it a try on both settings.

    Btw, do you notice that mixing the LSI with CSI5 and RTI4 makes the noise unbalance? My FXIA4 are much brigther than the front...

    i havent notice any striking unbalance between the mix of lsi15/rti4/csi5...its either my ears are not working too well or the parametric equilization has taken care of it during the auto setup...:confused:

    with the new speakers coming in...lsi/rti/csi/fxia...maybe it will all even out even more? :eek:
