Yes exactly what I was thinking, and Google Amazon and apple speakers seem
to have a similar claim. In at least one case they seem to have speakers in
them facing sidewards and phased weirdly, This is the old idea we used to
see in those Ghetto blasters to 'enhance' the image. It is certainly
ambient, but stereo in the correct sense of the word, no its a compromise
due to size and the fact the speakers are together.
Funny old world.
They also do a sound bar for tellies, and this actually sounds OK but once
again its not really hi fi, but impressive compared to the crap speakers in
the tv of course, mind you the one I saw cost the same as the whole tv did.

BLimey, and people say they are strapped for cash.
Bose seem to have gone down the same route.

I do wonder if, Imprressive and different is the currency today, rather

I visited the new J-L at home at Chichester recently and there was a
Sonus rep giving 'advice' to shoppers.

firstly he rubbished blutooth. Well, sort of OK but the aptX version
is better.

He then demonstrated how the output could be switched all around the
house (assuming you had one in every room).

I then aked him the price, which was £180. I responded 'well that
means £360 because you need 2 to get a stereo image'.

His response was ' there are two speakers in each unit'.
Yeah, really. One tweeter and one base driver. Stereo
image with 1 Sonus Play 1, my arse.
