Here is some more information,
in alternative #1 the dipoles end up just slightly above the ear level if null area is @ 90 deg. If I place them higher up they end up slightly in front of the listening position. But the wall is angled there so I don't know how that will impact the reflected sound. The distance between them (Rs/Ls) is greater then in alternative #2, but the distance to the Left surround (Ls) is greater then to the Right surround (Rs) from the listening position.
In alternative #2 the dipoles can be placed 2 feet above the ear level, but then they end up slightly behind the listening position. The distance between them also shrinks. And the WAF is lower for this placement.
So what do you think would be a better placement for movies and DSTX or 7.x?

The setup can be treated as vintage, but I like old stuff
