    Suggestions for side surrounds

    As per my signature, I am heavily invested in the Matrix series. I need some suggestions for side surrounds for a 7.1 system. I have tried, unsuccessfully to win auctions for the 805 - and prices seem to be increasing recently. Just missed a pair of 805 H that would have been perfect as my mounting for the sides will have to be within 1 foot of the wall/ceiling corner.
    I realize that this is a slight re-hash of a previous question, but what about a pair of HTM? They are basically the 805 on their side (although I do not understand how they are different than the 805 H)
    What about mixing in a dipole? Or is that a bad idea for PLIIx?
    Any input is appreciated.

    Dipole side surrounds
    by kgveteran
    Any idea's for some diploe side surrounds.I'm not totally sold on direct radiators for the sides.
    My current system uses two tweeters and two 5-1/4" mids per cabinet.They are paradigm ADP-150.
    There is no way they will match with the RS WTMW center!

    Currently using some old Epicures for the rear. Now that I'm upgrading the whole theatre I was looking for suggestions for the side-surrounds and rears.

    Break in suggestions
    by rkburton
    I somehow managed to pick up a pair of completely unused - still in factory plastic with cardboard in place - 805 Matrix.
    They will be used for the side surrounds.

    Suggested method of break-in?

    I was planning on hooking them to the front main channels and do a 2-channel...

    Side surrounds to match with 803Di
    by mpauline
    Any suggestions given that I could not find any matching surrounds on the B&W website. Must be on wall as my theater cannot use in-wall or free standing due to space restrictions.

    Thanks,

    Worth it? B&W 804S Side Surround???
    by owl1
    I have a desire to go to a 7.2 setup with currently comprising 803S mains HTM3S center and SCMS rear surrounds as well as a velodyne DD15 sub and Cambridge soundworks sub.
