- I am thinking that the only way you could get bipolar performance would
- be to wire them out of phase. Otherwise, you won't get as much of a
- "null" area.

- Tonal match is important. When the Lexicon pans stuff from Maggies
- to those Yamaha skinny surround speakers, it sounds bizarre.

- I have not made any equalizer investments yet. I find the high-end
- frequency response of the Yamaha's to be brighter than the Maggies.
- Still need to check if that is because of the Amp I am using on the front.
- Sigh.

- I am considering getting Cambridge Surrounds for the sides and moving
- the Yamaha's to the rear channels (six available with the Lexicon).
