Hmm, test drive isn't going to do us a whole lot of good in this case, because things are going to change in the next year and I have to plan for that as well. See, we're in the design phase of constructing a new home as well. Right now we have one of them there formal living rooms that I have made into our home theater. It's about 13'X 30' with the formal dining room included. The rear speaker sits on the dining table and the surrounds sit on stands. (yeah, I got cables running all over)
The new house will have a 20'X 20' greatroom that will double for HT. The surrounds therefore will be 8 to 10 feet from the listening position and are going to have to be mounted high. Do you think maybe I would be asking a bit much of dipoles in this case and should go with the 20s? A dispersed sound or a more directional sound source because of the distance, I guess is the question?
