It is really not too late at least for Trifield. If it is really better

, people would respond. (Actually at a Meridian demo I heard,
I thought it sounded worse than stereo. For one thing, the speakers were not far enough apart so that it sounded too mono--this sort of thing does not help the cause).
Well, hmm, three speakers cost approximately 50% more than the price of two. Plus whatever extra special kit is needed. You ~might~ manage to sell the idea if you can establish beyond doubt that the improvement is at least that much. It is very easy to persuade people that two speakers really are more than 100% better than one. Unless the added speaker produces a commensurate hike in quality over the two (and domestic hifi dealers are happy to stock and sell 3.0 speaker sets), I suspect the take-up will (continue to be) low. This is a niche market inside a niche market.
