Are Dipole Surrounds Suitable To Be Used As Fronts


I was just wondering whether dipole surround speakers are suitable to be used as front speakers. Would they mess up the sound? My impression is the sound effects would be more expansive and enveloping with the dipoles at the fronts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Considering your goals the most expansive and enveloping improvement would come from a 7.1 upgrade and no dipoles. Another HL and a couple of Compacts or even a lesser choice for the rears. And since your speakers present an easy load a modest receiver could easily drive them for HT. You really don't have to go nuts to enjoy theater like surround. Your almost there right now.

That's a beautiful space you have.
