Dipole as Front L/R In HT ?

[wingman]

Hi
i´m planing to build some dipole speaker for music.
But will they be ok for HT to ? Or is a normal speaker better for HT ?

They work great for HT as long as you don't run out of excursion.

Along those lines, I run my Orions full range for music but cross-over to a sub for home theater.

Bose(o): You're making me qurious, what do you have for speakers? I don't seem to be allowed to see your homepage...

Btw, I really really love my dipoles too!

Forgot to mention that dipoles are superb for HT use!

I still have yet to work on my homepage. Perhaps, you've given me a new task for today.

Not bad for 30 minutes of work eh? The webpage is up, I'm going to go listen to some music for now.

Magnapans are in some minds THE Classic Dipole. I use them for from R&L HT as well as "just" music. They work great. As simple as that.

There have been reviews of all-Magnapan HT systems. So far as I know the reviews were all far beyond merely good.

From this I, personally, would conclude that dipoles are a good HT choice. Actually, I'm persuaded that anf speaker that works well for music will work extra well for HT. I'm not sure the inverse is true.
