Can I also put a dipole such as the M 500 D on a floor stand?

In theory, dipoles can be placed on floor stands providing they are always near a wall, but we cannot supply any stands that are of the recommended height of 1.50 meters. Stability at this height can only be guaranteed if the base plate is very large. A base of around 1x1 meter isn't going to look very attractive. Perhaps a carpenter will be able to make you something that will match your room. Otherwise, you should also use direct speakers for the surround channels, preferably of the same model as the front speakers.
