so far for my HT, I've settled upon Yamaha RX-V1800 and Sammy HL61A750. I know I want Definitive Technologies for Speakers, (my rec Room HT has Def Tech Speakers and I LOVE THEM), but I'm not sure what I need since I'm new to 7.1 configurations. Do I need bipole/dipole? Do they go on the sides? Back? Both? Other? I need some help on speaker selection/configuration please! Thanks!

I quickly hit the Dolby site looking for a current "suggestion" from them on surround speakers for 6.1, 7.1, etc. systems and didn't find anything of note concerning di-pole vs. direct-radiating. It used to be that for Dolby Surround and early Dolby Digital (both 5.1) the recommendation was for di-pole surrounds, but with the emergence of more channels, better soundtracks, better speakers, better components and better processing the choice switched over to direct-radiators. I've not pursued this in a year or two so my knowledge could be out-of-date.
As far as set-up, here's Dolby's page on EX. Speaker Setup
I hope this helps..

Hi all, I have been lurking in this site for some time since I purchased my RSP-1098 back on February 2003. I received the unit last week and installed it. I used to have an RSX 1065 with very good results. Only problem is that analog inputs were considerable louder than digital ones (optical and coaxial).... -

I want to up grade my 5.1 system to a 7.1 and am having a hard time with the cost of B&W DS8S. My past auditioning has led me away from B&W for my center channel speaker and I went with a Definitive Tech because of the much fuller sound. I'm thinking on the same lines for the dipole or bipolar...16 February 2005, 22:49 Wednesday
