Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System

I have used dipoles for over 20 years..
Bought Infinity RSIIa back in 1983 kept those for 17 years..
The a pair of used magnepan IIb
The for two years a not dipole pair of B&W 805S
Then a new pair of Magnepan 3.6 which I have used for a few years now.

I really like the dipole sound.
The main issue is room BEHIND them from the back wall. Any dipole needs a few feet back there from rear wall.
If you cannot clear at least 3 feet behind them don't bother.

For dipoles with dipole woofers.. the lows do not go through walls much. If the main dipole has a cone woofer, this does not apply.

Anything else about the sound is user choice.
Some folks like them, some don't.

Very confusing post.
1. Aren't the Martin Logans dipoles?

2. How can " the expanded soundstage that I've read that dipoles are known for" be detrimental to "solo guitar and light jazz".

Please unconfused me...

Yes, electrostats are also dipoles but I'm having difficulty with definitions that I've recently read in regard to dipoles in general. Descriptions are not all exactly the same but the things that seem consistent across the board are that the designs require speakers to be in separate enclosures facing both front and back in an out of phase configuration or that the speakers are mounted on what amounts to little more than boards. The term "enclosure" is also confusing in regard to the open dipole configuration.

My question regarding dipoles being used for solo instruments goes to another thread that I initiated and Elizabeth kindly responded to. I was soliciting advice regarding monaural presentation of solo guitar music that may be a more pinpointed as if the artist was sitting across the room. From what I read about dipoles, which would include my Odysseys, is that they create a wide stage which seems the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve.

I recently have my Odysseys configured with a permanent A/B selector device with a pair of Jamo Concert Eight bookshelf speakers. These Jamo's present a realistic/accurate reproduction of guitar and light jazz but are lacking something when listening to classical symphonic music or movies (in stereo) so I need to find a single speaker pair that satisfies both of these two extremes.

The bottom line is that I remain confused. I'm pretty sure, though, that, even though the Genesis is a really beautiful speaker, I should start looking for a decent conventional speaker instead of continuing with the dipoles. As a matter of fact, from what I'm reading, dipoles seem to be the speaker of choice for surround sound, something that I no longer listen to.

Solo guitar and light jazz,get yourself a pair of Harbeth P3 ESR'S. No speaker I have owned reproduces a guitar like them. And placement on these are a breeze!

Broadstone:
The character of the recording is determined by the Artist/Label/Engineer priorities.
An example is the Glenn Gould "Re-Performance" of the Goldberg Variations
(DSD recorded by Zenph Studios on Sony Classical label).
I was hoping for a Grand Hall acoustic but got a dry intimate presentation instead.
In other words, if the soundstage is in the recording, your speakers won't remove it.
