Free surround sound?
There is a long-known technique for creating a matrix soundfield with just a 2 channel amp. It's called a "Hafler circuit".
One of the things I've been doing for years is wiring rear speakers in my car so that they just play the "surround-sound" or ambiance information. I think it's just personal taste whether or not it's worth the bother, but I think it adds a bit of "space" to the closed-in environment.
This technique these days has more application in a customized car system than in the home, in my opinion. But, if you have an old-fashioned beefy amp, it might be worth looking into.
