I have a question about Klipsch THX surround left and right side speakers, they are Bi-pol

Im setting up a full 7.1 system, and want to use the THX klipsch side surround speakers how do they sound compared to other klipsch speakers

I could use as surrounds??

Set up, Yamaha 4600 THX reciever, Yamaha 65M power amps, Samsung BD -UP500 bluray/HD , and 42 plasma

how well do they seem to mix with Heritage stuff?

Timbre
wise the newest Reference and the Ultra2 lineup seem to mate really
well with heritage. I think the only concern would be whether or not
they can keep up with the SPL of the heritage (which I think might be
where professor thump is going with his question).

Many people
have good results with the Heresy for surrounds, but I think the
dipoles sound better in smaller rooms (where their output isn't a
concern). In larger rooms, mounting the Heresy properly for surround
duty is often not very obtrusive (since the rooms tend to have higher
ceilings too). I'd say the closest you want to be for a Heresy is about
8 feet or so.

We have a 5.1 system with 3 Cornwalls up front and the THX 525s as surrounds. In our 14’ X 22’ room they function extremely well. I really think you need at least 16’ or maybe even 18’ of width to benefit from a pair of Heresys or Cornwalls. Even then, it would depend on your seating arrangement.
