I currently have a 5.1 set-up with Wilson speakers all around (ex sub woofer). I have Watt Puppy L/Rs, and a Watch center and surrounds.
My question is about the surrounds. The Watch surrounds are not bipoles/dipoles. I think this is o.k. for rears in a 5.1 set-up. However, I'm moving to a new house and plan to set up 7.1 sound. My sense is that in a 7.1 set-up, I want true bipole/dipoles for the sides throwing sound away from the listener (with the rears o.k. as direct radiating speakers still pointed at the listener). If so, I'm not sure what to do as I don't want to go to another brand for just the sides, and don't think Wilson makes matched bipole or dipole surrounds/sides.
Any advice would be appreciated. I know there's a significant chance I'm out to lunch in my understanding of this issue.
Thanks.
