Dipoles/Ripoles and small spaces?

As above really. Is it possible to utilize these methods in very small rooms?

There are general reasons that make dipoles less suitable for very small rooms (required wall distance for instance). For dipole application in subwoofers google for "dipole and "room gain". I see more contras than pros in very small rooms.

Thanks for that. Looks like not the way to go.
