The ideal starting point for a surround sound system is to add a centre loudspeaker to the left and right loudspeakers of a conventional stereo system.
The 541 Surround Controller takes advantage of the additional loudspeaker to reinforce the central image, and allow the left and right loudspeakers to be further apart for a wider soundstage. This gives a more realistic and stable three- dimensional image of the original recorded sound, for outstanding music and cinema reproduction.
If you are primarily interested in home cinema you may prefer to extend an existing stereo system by adding a pair of rear surround loudspeakers, for cinema effects and ambient sounds.
An ideal choice would be a pair of wall mounting or bookshelf loudspeakers powered by a Meridian 555 Power Amplifier.
