It was never marketed. Superb though it is, the costs were horrendous.
Four full bandwidth speakers and amps - one for each corner - and a
further four good quality speakers and amps (but not necessarily with as
good a bottom end) for the sides.

4 channels == horrendous?

Eight, actually. And of course the cost of the decoder, which was
expensive too.

Never set up a dolby prologic system by adding another amp and speakers?

You can't 'set up' a Dolby Pro Logic system by simply adding another amp
and speakers. That gives you Hafler. For ProLogic you need a decoder and
amps. But you don't need the same quality speakers for what is basically a
bandwidth limited FX channel carrying different information.

Not everybody does surround sound with a crappy 5 channel integrated
receiver.

Not everyone would pay out perhaps 4 times the cost of a good stereo
system for one with limited uses. Which is why it failed.
