Re: Tweaking my system

205.188.208.9

I use Dipolar surround speakers, which are 4 feet behind my listening position. Now I have read that I should be using Bipolar speakers with my 7.1 set up, but I really like the way dipolar speakers create a wall of sound, with stanard bookshelf speakers in the center. You have to try different spots and see what sounds the best. Nothing should stand out in terms of sound, as if you hear the rear speakers over the fronts when you are watching a movie, then it becomes distracting. Get a Radio Shack SLP metter and set the receiver so all speakers are playing at the same volume(THX says 75db reference on pink noise test tone), but I have my sub set for 72Db, as many movies have too much rumble in them.
