Upgraded my Yamaha last summer, have never had a Atmos receiver, so I was excited to try it out. Come to find out, with the model of Yamaha I had, it couldn't do both Atmos and rear back surrounds at the same time, and Amazon was very nice in letting me return and upgrade to the next level Yamaha.
I have SVS speakers all around, although I only a couple of polk bookshelf speakers and a couple of polk bi-pole/dipole speakers to use for Atmos speakers. One of the bookshelf speakers must have had a blown crossover, since only the tweeter was working, so left me with no choice but to use bi-pole/dipole speakers.
These speakers are triangular in shape, meant to give a more diffuse sound for rear surround speakers, but I figured they would work, and do a decent job. On one side is just a tweeter, and the other side has a tweeter and a woofer, and I have them set to di-pole, which they all speakers are supposed to fire at the same time. My question is, currently have them set so that the "point" of the triangle is aimed directly into the room, and the woofer/tweeter side to the inside. Would it be better to to turn them so that the side with the tweeter/woofer is directly facing the room? It's probably a miniscule tweak either way, but looking for opinions.
