A beautifully built, Made-in-Canada dipole surround speaker pair from Paradigm’s Monitor Series v5, praised by Playback Magazine for delivering “a full, enveloping and diffuse surround sound field” with “rich sonic details” and “exceptional value for the money.”
The ADP-190 v5 is a true dipole design — meaning its drivers are mounted on opposing side panels and wired out of phase, creating a diffuse, enveloping surround field rather than a localizable point source of sound. This is widely considered the most cinematic and immersive approach to surround speaker design, pulling the listener into the soundfield rather than making them aware of the speaker’s position. Paradigm’s implementation is particularly refined, with a four-driver, two-way configuration deploying two 25mm (1-inch) H-PTD ferro-fluid cooled titanium dome tweeters and two 140mm (5.5-inch) M-ICP ferro-fluid cooled mid/bass drivers — one tweeter and one mid/bass driver on each side panel — crossed over at 2.0 kHz with a second-order electro-acoustic network.
At 90 dB room sensitivity with an 8-ohm compatible impedance, the ADP-190 is an easy load for any AV receiver and works well with amplifier power from 15 to 100 watts. The compact, elegant black enclosure is wall-mountable and designed to sit unobtrusively at or slightly above ear height for optimal dipole dispersion. These make a natural and sonically cohesive match for any Paradigm Monitor Series v5 or v6 front and centre channel combination.
As with every component we sell at Radique Audio, this pair has been thoroughly tested before listing.

Polk FXi A4 Dipole Bipole Surround Speakers, Pair
Two 1-inch silk/polymer dome tweeters aimed 45 degrees apart and a 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance woofer in a triangular, side-ported cabinet, with a switch that moves them between dipole and bipole. 88 dB, 8 ohms, 20 to 150 watts, keyhole-slotted for wall mounting. Voice-matched to Polk's RTi and CSi models. Good working condition, fully tested.
Single Paradigm 4-Driver, 2-Way Dipole Speaker ADP-170 v4
One speaker, not a pair. Four drivers on two angled baffles — two 19 mm CMC domes and two 140 mm MPC cones on die-cast chassis — running out of phase above the 2 kHz crossover and in phase below it. That is what Paradigm meant by adapted dipole: a diffuse surround field without giving up the bass. The upper piece of vinyl cladding has been removed, so the top wants painting or a spot out of sight.
PSB Image 10S Bipole Surround Speakers — Black | Canada
Two driver modules per cabinet — a 25mm aluminium dome tweeter and a 133mm polypropylene woofer in each — angled rather than run out of phase, which widens the listening window without the comb filtering a true dipole introduces. Crossover at 2,500 Hz, 91 dB sensitivity into 6 ohms, 65 Hz to 23 kHz. Made in Canada, and a set of flush wall mounts comes with them.
Polk Audio f/x 500i Bipole/Dipole Surrounds — Made in USA, Pair
A genuine mirror-imaged pair, labelled LC and RC, with two driver arrays set 45 degrees apart and a rear-panel switch that flips them between bipole and dipole — locatable effects on the wall behind you, a diffuse field on the side walls, same speakers either way. 19.4 lbs each, half again the weight of the FXi A6 that replaced them, and 2 dB more sensitive. Built in the United States, with keyhole mounts moulded into the cabinet. Very Good condition.
