David, well, just two speakers in the surround is what Russ meant. Whether those two were at the sides, or they were in the rear. Russ and commercial theaters agree to have back and side surrounds both is more intense. I have sides and rears playing in my theater with my Lexicon pre-pro. In Lexicons "Logic 7" (L7) mode the side and rear speakers on either side may be playing the same material, or they may be not. In situations where you have a "hard panned" sound such as a door slamming, in the left surround channel this will be played back over both the left side and rear. However, if there is panning or movement of the sound from one surround speaker to the next, 5.1 L7 Film (and related effects/modes) can steer these sounds independently between all 4 surround speakers.
A little more on the person who quoted:" It's hard to be surrounded by sound with just 2 speakers" Russ Herschelmann:. He recently completed work as the project designer of Lutron/Disney's $4,000,000.00 "Ultimate Home Theater Experience", in Walt Disney World, FL. Along with being one of CEDIA's founding fathers, his work has been found in many HT magazines. He is beyond amateur.
