surround sound system with two speakers ?


why can't you have a surround system with only two speakers? I thought that you distinguish sound direction by the delay that it takes the sound to reach one ear then the other. if this is true why can't you have a processor that will make this delay between two speakers. If anybody knows anything about this subject let me know, maybe i am wrong but if i'm right why doesn't anyone make this processor.

How about with one speaker? I heard a demo of the new single Yamaha system, and for home cinema it was great. They had it matched with the Arcam reciever, and a Denon 3910 DVD player. Sound was excellent. Great for movies, not bad at all on music. Pretty cool idea for city dwellers.
