Hello Everyone... This is my first post. I am in the market for some Surround speakers. I currently have a Set of Paradigm Studio 40's and a matching Center Channel. They are old - but they are not going anywhere. GREAT SPEAKERS!!! I need to find some rear/surround speakers to match and have looked at the new and used speakers and this is what I am thinking. I have found some used Paradigm ADP-170, and ADP-350 that are right around $200-$300... Which I like the price... the new model ADP-390 go for about $500.
I like the idea of the Dipole speakers, but not sure if they will work in my situation.
I have a LARGE living room (where the speakers are going) and the room setup is not very good for rearranging. So I am stuck with this setup. I have no real side walls - Side walls are the back wall of the living room (3 Door sliding glass to back porch - and the other is the dining room from door area. So my surround speakers are going to have to be on the Back Wall, Directly above the listening position. The ceilings are vaulted.. and VERY HIGH - maybe 15 - 18 feet. So mounting in the ceiling might work, but I am thinking the best idea is to mount on the back wall.
Will these Dipole Paradigm speakers work okay mounted on the back wall? Or do I need to go a different direction? Maybe Wall mounted or ceiling mounted monopole?
Thanks for any advice!!!!!
Corey.
