Psychoacoustic studies have shown that sounds along the centre line can be confused; i.e., with a single back speaker, sounds from behind can sound like they're coming from in front of you.
I noodled this some more, and it still makes no sense. Even with dual rears, except for THX Ultra2 and Logic 7 sound fields, all you're doing is replicating a mono signal into 2 speakers. OK. In that case, where does the "image" appear? 1/2 in between the 2 rears, or directly behind you. Maybe now I'm beginning to understand the benefits of THX Ultra 2 and L7...
