Dipole/bipole or direct radiating


I have a 27'x 16' room that will be pretty much dedicated for music and movies. I have heard a lot about what kind of speakers to put for surrounds (some say direct radiating other dipole / bipole). I have Revel Salons and Voice but I am unsure if I should get the M20's or the S30's / Embraces for the back. Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks

Dynasy, I have a an almost identical size room - mine has a ten foot ceiling. Ever since I first heard the Apogee Scintilla, I knew what speaker I would put into a big room. I have never heard a more convincing speaker.

I have also had the pleasure of listening to other dipoles in large spaces. Without an exception, dipoles, for me, are exceptional in facilitating the imagination.
Sogood51, have you been to the Apogee club house? http://audioworld.com/cgibin/sw/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=1&SUBMIT=Go

there is a member there who uses Full ranges front, Duetta Signature sides, and Diva rears. There are others too. Another member showed a real theater set up with cantered seats, curtains, and all. You can pose theater questions there, and get response from several members.

Keith Yates, of mega home theater fame, is going to pay me a visit shortly. I'll ask him if he knows any other theater folks employing Apogees.
