Set them to small.

If it doesn't get down into the 30s at least (which these don't) set it to small.

i also have a question about these dipole speakers

should they be set to face towards the inside of the room, or at an gle towards the seating position

 

[Halon451]

That depends on your room and other factors. How far away is the wall from the main seating/listening area? What are the room dimensions? What is the layout? You get the idea...

It sounds like this may be your first experience with home theater, or maybe not, but those articles contain a lot of very useful information to help you along in all aspects of setting up your system, from loudspeaker placement to bass management.

Hope that helps.

Bi/dipole speakers are not intended to be pointed directly at the listener.

Thanks J - I've never used/owned bi-pole or di-pole speakers, so I just learned a new thing.
