Surround Speaker Hookup and signal?

[tdogroeder]

Does the Yamaha RX-V757 7.1 reciever send a stronger signal to surround speakers than the surround back speakers, or are they the same. I'm going to get the Polk Audio FXi5's for surrounds, and I was considering the R15 for my other surrounds. Where should I place them

FXI5 on the sides (more important)
and R15's in the back.

For movies the fxi5's are recommended to go in Dipole Mode.
For music they are recommended for BIPOLE.

since you have the switch in an easy to get to place- you can toggle it at will.

My Fx's have the switch in the back so I just keep them all on Bipole (music is first and foremost)
