You'd be very surprised what two loudspeakers can do for a soundstage - rear loaded designs placed in room corners can cause the width of the stage to "bloom" out in front of you and provide very good instrument localization.As far as speakers go...that really depends on what you're doing. There are literally thousands of different combinations out there, and each of them has its benefits and drawbacks.</blockquote>
