Who says you need a bunch of speakers for a surround sound system to function? Sure, logic tells us that in order for you to be surrounded by sound you also need to be surrounded by speakers, but Sony doesn't let itself be controlled by silly things like logic. They're f'in' Sony.
See? This Sony DAX-X10 Virtual Surround Sound setup only has 2 speakers and a subwoofer, yet it claims to be surround sound. It does this by some form of magical spatial sound dispersion, hence the "virtual" in the name. Does such fanceries and denial of the rules of physics work? You've got me, but if you've got $1,000 to spend you can find out for yourself.
