I am coming across conflicting opinion and advice on this, with some people even slating what Dolby themselves recommend, so I'm unclear what my approach should be. I would assume it's largely room dependent anyway, so have attached an image below of my space.
I have x3 LCR in-walls up front and plan on x2 Atmos ceiling speakers. What I am unclear about is the surrounds at the side, and if I should go with bipole, dipole or direct? My assumption was that I should be placing the surrounds on the side walls, but I have seen some people go with them at the rear.
Obviously my space is quite small (2.5m W/4m L/2.3m H) and I have the potential added issue of small protruding sections of boxing on either side of the room (covering pipework) that I am not sure if might be an issue with sound reflections etc.
A couple of the surround speakers I have been looking at are the Definitive Technology SR9040 (my LCR are Def Tech UIW RLSII) and the ELAC Debut OW4.2... so two quite different speakers here.
Any advice much appreciated.
