A:Answer For anyone curious, nothing with only 2 speakers will ever be "true" anything above stereophonic. The numbers relating to surround sound setups refer to the number of speakers in the array. The .1 is for the subwoofer(bass or lows) and the whole number 2, 5 or 7 is for the full range speakers(highs, mids, lows). Therefore, the only surround sound experience to be had on a 2 speaker system will only be virtual surround sound.
