In reply to Kenwood DTS Bookshelf CD Player Promises Surround Sound Over Two Channels
I'd imagine these are already out there, but I wonder if it's going to use that technology that sends out a focused beam of sound - you can't really hear it well when it's not pointed at you, but if you get in front of it you hear it fully, and if it hits something, it sounds like the sound is coming from the point of impact. In theory that could turn your back wall into a pair of virtual speakers...

What does "surround sound" even mean if it's coming out of two speakers (that are, by the way, so close together it's basically one speaker anyway)? Are they shifting phase to create a wider stereo spread?

True surround sound is when you can wallpaper your room with thousands of tiny membranes that literally surround you with direct sound from all directions, and can replicate virtual acoustic reflections of any room.
