I still don't understand how bipoles would not lose their effect to the hallway and open spaces in my room directly to the sides where they will be placed.

Buy em & try em. Best buy has a return policy. Grab both & keep the winner.

I'm buying them directly from Klipsch, they have to be shipped.

That is the rub with speakers that require walls to bounce sound from.

So you're saying I should go with monopoles?
