Placement is very critical. I note that with my bipoles that I built, they sound okay up against the wall, but they sound ordinary, if not a tad boomy. They need to be a least a foot or more to enjoy the bipole benefits of soundstage and 'clean' bass.
This is why I don't own 5.1 yet - I don't have a room that is condusive to 5.1; I'm lucky to be able to properly place two speakers, let alone 5 or more.
The 601s my friend had were a blast to listen to, but when I got my Polk Audio SDA/CRS speakers, they paled to the Polks for quality of bass and highs. But as I said, I'd use better drivers.
