    Dipole surrounds to match Khanspires / NatPs?

    Hi there - long time listener, first time caller.

    I'm planning to build a 7.1 set of speakers using the fabulous Khanspires for mains, the Khancenter and either Neatos or Nat Ps for rear surrounds.

    I've always disliked being able to localise side surrounds and would really like to be able to build some dipole side-surrounds.

    I've looked around the board a fair bit but haven't seen a suitable design. I'm not clever enough to design my own so can anyone make a recommendation? I can build the boxes but really need advice on the crossover, wiring etc for a dipole using RS150s and RS28s.

    I'm not sure you're going to find a quality dipole surround project. They just aren't in fashion with DIYers. There are varying opinion on whether they are better or worse than direct radiating speakers for surrounds. Do a search here and other places to read about that.

      I only know of one build, but it is using the Statement drivers (NEOcd3, W4-1337SA, and RS180-4), not the ones you listed. It isn't finished yet, but looks promising:
