Of course it is but how about THREE?
 
Remember that the most obvious home-playback application of Michael  
Gerson's mathematical work is *not* Ambisonics but TRIFIELD.
 
As I recall, it was the addition of a center speaker that Gerzon himself  
thought would become the most widely adopted of his inventions -- or did I 
read  the biography wrong?
 
Here, the licensing seems to have gotten in the way.  Did anyone other  
then Meridian ever implement Trifield for consumers?  Was it ever (or is it  
now) available as a *cheap* license, so that it can be put in Japanese or 
Korean  recievers?
 
Yes, we know how you feel about "sound-stage" reproduction, but given that  
the US hi-fi market has largely pursued this goal, did anyone ever 
seriously try  to tackle the center speaker issue for music?
