A Guide to Bipolar, Dipolar, & Direct-Radiating Monopole Surround Speakers (PART II)

[rana_kirti]

Hi Bigdaddy,

m getting a pair of PSB S5s. But i have a curious situation with my wall on the left side.

I sit at 15 feet from the screen. Right at 15 feet the side wall dips 8 inches and then carries on straight to the kitchen. So i had a few doubts. I gather from this thread that the Bipoles should be 1 feet behind the listener. That will be 16 ft.

Now from the PSB website the Depth of the S5 is 7 1/8”. So i can guess from the pictures the tweeter/woofer will be outwards from the wall by 5-6 inches.

My doubts are...

1. Will the right side of the tweeter/woofer be firing directly into the side wall dip and thus create a weird effect ?

2. Am i better off with a Monopole speakers for surrounds in my case ?

Thanks for looking.

P.S i'm attaching a few pics for a better understanding of the situation.
