Single Speaker Unit Delivers Surround Sound

Posted by simoniker on from the just-showing-off dept.

Makarand writes "A one-speaker home theater system that is able to deliver surround sound has been unveiled by Nirotek America (Torrance, CA). The single speaker unit actually contains five individual speakers packed horizontally into a single case. The surround sound effect is achieved by playing some sophisticated psychoacoustic trickery on the human brain. Realistic surround sound from movies and stereo CDs can be obtained as long as listeners are at least six feet away from the speaker unit and the unit stands near the front edge of whatever surface it is placed on. The unit is priced at around $799 and USA Today has a review."

    Nothing beats BOSE! That is something you just have to hear a demo of to believe how good it sounds.

    brings new meaning to the notion of unwelcome?

    we'll show "them"? seems as though "they" may have already seen enough of US?

    why would we want to export our cesspool of phonIE felonious greed/fear/ego based execrable? intervention/prosecution/detention might be more appealing to all of US.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the walking (also talking out of their phonIE .asps,) in this case) dead execrable will not be available to make reparations for the whoreabull life0cide against the planet/population, as the big flash is already occurring.
