[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 73979, member: 693"] Hi there, Using bookshelves as surrounds is by no means a disadvantage. In some ways it's beneficial (over dipoles), especially in terms of providing focus and pin point accuracy which dipoles, in my experience, can't quite match. Dipoles give a much more diffused surround field which makes the room sound much larger than it actually is. The benefit is that the immersion factor improves considerably, at least in my experience. Here is a tip for expanding your system. When you are ready to jump into the world of 7 channels, use the A3 bookshelves as rear surrounds and get yourself a pair of dipoles for surround duties. Both topologies work extremely well with one another. On the one hand you have the diffusive sound field generated by the dipoles and on the other, tightly focused, directional and accurate effects from the rear surround channels. I've found this works very well, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
