Hi Stefan. With two subs, I would place them at front-left and front-right, and I would decode to frontal stereo.
For horizontal-only, Ambisonics requires at least 3 speakers. In both cases, there could be some directional cues, but only for frequencies a bit higher than the Schroeder frequency, so it depends on the room and its interactions with the subs. What I wrote is based on some reading, some personal experience, and lots of guessing. Domestic bass reproduction is a difficult topic, and I prefer simple solutions (even if not optimal). What's important is to enjoy the result. -- Marc On Sun, 19 Apr 2015 23:24:10 +0100, Stefan Schreiber wrote: > Exactly.
