Default Surround Sound

I'm more interested in the objective side of audio
rather than the subjective side.


How many (discrete) channels are needed for accurate
soundfield reproduction with speakers?


With large enough a room you can do it with two channels, but with a normal
home room in which you want to reproduce a semblance of another acoustic
space, I would say 5.1 is a minimum.
