The processor just plays the music; it doesn't care what kind of speaker you use. The sound you get out obviously does depend on whether you're using a dipole or monopole, full-range or small.
As you probably know, THx recommends the dipole speaker for Dolby ProLogic recordings. This fills the room better with the sound.

The rear/side speakers should be placed on an arc. If you use monopole speakers, locate the side speakers 110 degrees from directly ahead and the rears 135 degrees.

The new DD and DTS soundtracks are full range. Thus full range speakers are best. Many processors though allow you to set speakers as "small" and redirect the bass information to a subwoofer.

| Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having full range speakers? |
