One of the reasons Axiom designed a "quadpolar" speaker was to simulate the same experience you receive from multiple "direct radiating" speakers lined on the side walls of movie theaters.

They should be place to the side of the listener. Alan has mentioned on many occasions that the engineering of surround movie recordings are designed for playback on speakers that envelope you, not for direct radiating designs.

My statement does not define the use of these type of speakers. jmo
