Hello All,

I am looking to make a purchase in the near future and was hoping for some input.

In reviewing the options available, it seems the selector defaults to adding 2 "quadpole" surrounds when choosing a 7.1 setup. Based on THX standards, they seem adamant in suggesting rear speakers in a 7.1 setup should be directional and pointed towards the listeners.

All this as I am debating choosing one of the axiom 5.1 systems and adding bookshelfs for rears(with the quads as surrounds) or going with the "suggested" 4 quad setup.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks in advance,
Mandrake
