In 5.0 channel set-up 85-90% of your sound is coming through your center and fronts. Rears are for ambient sounds in an HT set up. I would even argue that Atoms are a bit excessive for rears.

Since you are looking at dipoles, my guess is that you aren't looking for rears for multi channel audio set-up (SACD) but rather HT.

Just my advice though. Keep in mind, I'm not a bass freak and that much bass in the rears would be a distraction rather than a benefit for me.

I guess your right but for 348.00 thats still cheaper then atoms.I never thought about it that way they might be too strong for rears.That makes sense.I wonder why some people put 5Floorstands all the way around?Or why some people By 5 Of the same bookshelf speakers?
