I could have posted this question in 'Speaker Asylum' but preferred to have it posted here since I figured there may be more AV users who read in this section:
I have a 7.1 surround set up with a pair of dipoles being on the side surround and a pair of direct radiating speakers being at the surround back. Is there a problem with this, especially when playing THX-Surround EX? Would the direct surround back pair be a problem of being too direct?
