The sub-woofer provided with the surround sound system makes it possible to use small speakers for everything else. My understanding is that for the low wavelength sounds in the bass range, the ear cannot really detect their origin, so there is little point in surround-sounding those frequencies (at least, that's what the manual that came with my system says). Thus the surround sound for only high frequencies that can be adequately reproduced with the cube speakers. Seems to work as the surround sound effect works pretty well. For stereo you could also use a sub-woofer I suppose and have cube speakers for the separated speakers, but that's usually considered overkill because it would require three speakers instead of two. --Greg _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
