Paradigm ADP150's in a 7.1 system

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.

HK is monopole all the way, you should be looking 3se's or Monitor se's for rear channels.

The Harman Group has some homogeny with their surround algorithms, only the all out THX units of old will mention dipoles.

http://manuals.harman.com/hk/Owner%27s%20Manual/AVR%20435%20OM%20FINAL%20(web).pdf,

this is a link to the 435 manual, on page 19 you will see a picture on the setup, which shows how the rear channels are supposed to be setup. they have made this much more vague than it used to be as they would simulate sound waves coming out of the rear channels defining the speakers as monopole.

But you can see that Dipoles are an after thought in the 2nd paragraph third column.

Is there another way to get to that link page?
It keeps saying page can not be found. Thanks

Also, are you familiar with the Infinity ES250 that can be switched between bi, di or monopole? It's on eBay.

For high-resolution multichannel music, you are better off staying with the same speaker brand, and preferably within the same model series, for optimal "voice matching." This often means having the same drivers in all speakers. The surrounds do not need to have as much bass extension as the front mains, but they should have the same tweeters, midrange (or woofer if they are a 2-way design), and crossovers.

I do not currently listen to SACD/DVD-A music, but there seems to be a consensus favoring monopole surrounds for that application. The notion here is that monopoles will more precisely recreate the spatial imaging as the recording engineer intended you to hear it. But beware: if any one of your monopole surrounds is less than about 6 feet from the listening position, it may "stand out" as a sound source and fail to blend in with the other speakers.

Once again, let your ears and your listening room layout be your guides.
