Hi, what size and dimensions is the room? Sometimes there is no substitute for trial and error - you could try moving things around and compare the same snippet of movie soundtrack to see what you think of the difference.

Depending on your room layout, the general rule of thumb is to have the direct firing BR1's as rear centre speakers, and the dipole BRFX's on the side walls so they can fire up and do the room (to recreate the multiple 'rear' speakers down the sides of a cinema).
