Surround speaker placement, room acoustics, and personal preference are as important as the speakers' radiating characteristic.

of a few years ago, most consumer off-the-shelf systems feature either 5 identical speakers or 4 identical speakers with a center channel modified for better placement on top of the television. For a home theater system designed primarily for watching movies, the center channel may be of dubious quality and design though. In many older (circa 2000 or so) consumer music-only surround system, the front speakers may be matched direct radiators and the rear speakers may be dipoles (see 1.10).

Thanks to the increasing power and dropping cost of signal-processing chips, sound that appears to come from around the listener is now possible with just two speakers. These audio processing systems, often referred to as "virtual surround," require that the listener be positioned in a specific "sweet spot" in front of the two speakers. As a result, they cannot substitute for multiple speakers in home theater applications.
