I am moving to a studio loft in a month and cannot mount surround sound speakers on the side of my listening area. I can mount them on wood beams directly overhead or on the rear wall. I have seen two types of bipole surround speakers:tweeter/mid on both ends and
mid in the middle with a tweeter on either side at an angle.
My roomate currently owns a pair of the first type that we use on either side of the couch. They seem to work well in this location, because they are very close to the listening area. I'm worried that putting them overhead or behind won't direct enough sound to me. Would the second type of bipole be better, or should I use direct radiators? Which of the two locations would work best? This is for movies only, not 5 channel stereo.
Thanks for your help,
Phil

I have the same situation as you in my house and purchased a set of #2 (as you described) for my rear wall. While I admit it isn't perfect, the sound is fairly enveloping and pretty good. Ideally, if you could get a design that has *both* tweeters and mids pointing to the sides at an angle, that would be even better.My "surrounds" are Sound Dynamics RTS-RS1.

IMO it is more important to match speakers so if your stereo pair and centre speakers are direct radiators then use them for the side & rear. I suggest that mounting them overhead will work extremely well.We use electrstat bipoles everywhere but our room is the other extreme - very large. It is pictured on "Inmate Systems".
