I read somewhere about a single component surround sound system that
used multiple speakers on the front of the device and some smart
electonics, to simulate having multiple speakers around the room. Has
anyone heard of this and/or tried it?

I have a rented condo and it's hard to run wires... the multi
speaker/single component device seemed just the answer.

If you have something close to a rectangular room, it works surprisingly
well. Google for some reviews.

Be sure to buy only from an authorized dealer if a warranty is important to
you.

Several people have these out now. I don't remember all the names, but one
is Polk.

They differ as the Yamaha adjusts its response to the room in order to
simulate a full surround while the Polk simply bounces the surround
channels off to the side while aiming the L/C/R ahead. That is not a
comment on sound quality but on design goals. A listing of these
types of speakers can be found at:

and discussions at:

And, btw, Harry, stop recommending Empire turntables; it only drives
the market. ;-)

I didn't think that the Polk unit was effective, the Yamaha units
actually work.

The Yamaha units work best if the side walls are relatively plain.
Bookcases along the side walls, for example, are not optimal.
