When you say bipolar, you mean they fire from the front and back, right?

Im looking at a set of these tweets right now with the swivel backs for $55/shipped.

yeah I mean they fire equal amounts of sound from front and rear, using the rear firing as a relfection, much the way you'd get 360 degree sound from a live performance.. or at least that's the idea.
with a lot of painful repositioning and trial and error, it works very, very well for Martin Logan with ESL panels.. but that's in a big room, with walls behind the speakers, which have to be painstakingly placed for ideal imaging.
