Paradigm ADP150's in a 7.1 system


I just recently purchased a mint pair of Paradigm 7SE MK3 speakers and am trying to find the "matching center and surrounds". According to Pardigm they are: CC300 and ADP150's. Can the Pardigm ADP150's(a dipole speaker)be used as either surrounds or back surrounds in a 7.1 system?

The answer is in the manual of your surround processor.

What kind of speakers does it show?

If it shows dipoles use dipoles, if it shows monopoles well I think you''re getting it by now.
The choice of dipole/bipole/monopole for side and back surrounds should be guided by personal taste, room layout (including speaker placement in relation to listening position), and intended use (HT vs. music). Most surround processors are not designed around any particular type of speaker. My pre-pro manual doesn't discuss types of surround speakers (other than small vs. large) and I doubt that many other surround processor manuals discuss this topic either.

I only have one audio system. For movies I use 7.1 and for music I use 2.0 or 2.1. I currently don't do multichannel music. I have KEF dipole surrounds and Paradigm Titan monopole back surrounds. They sound fine.

You will probably be very satisfied with the ADP 150 as your surrounds and/or back surrounds. The only thing about dipoles is that your listening position needs to be within the dipole null space in order for the speakers to "disappear." The Polk website and other websites, as well as the dipole speaker operating instructions, have diagrams illustrating null space. If you can't place the dipoles correctly, then bipoles or monopoles might be better.
Thanks for the responses. I definitely didn't find anything in the owners maual regarding this. I probably should have added that my system will be used 99% of time for music(DTS, SACD and DVD-Audio). It seems the majority of reviews say that dipoles are not good for multi-channel music. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
Spanky, often the speakers will not be literaly defined, as Javachip has expressed this need for freedom of choice in his post.

Manufacturers will draw pictures of the speaker layout showing sound coming out of the speakers dipole monopole.

What brand processor do you have, that would help. Then I could tell you what type of speakers it needs.
I have a Harman Kardon AVR 335 7.1 receiver. I just don't want to waste my time or money on the wrong equipment. Thanks for your help.
