: But, the problem I see is, the dipoles effectiveness lies in reflected sound from up front.

Not true. The dipole "sound" is determined by the null created by the out-of-phase driver arrays. The resulting sound will still be generated primarily from the off-axis drivers. Some sound will also be reflected off the side walls. Very little is reflected from the front, since it would interfere with normal imaging from your fronts even in a liver environment.

You should not have a problem using dipoles in this setup. I take it you are using this system primarily for movies? I would hesitate to consider behind-screen front placement for serious music listening.

Cheers,
