surround sound system with two speakers ?


why can't you have a surround system with only two speakers? I thought that you distinguish sound direction by the delay that it takes the sound to reach one ear then the other. if this is true why can't you have a processor that will make this delay between two speakers. If anybody knows anything about this subject let me know, maybe i am wrong but if i'm right why doesn't anyone make this processor.

Bob Carver did this a decade ago. "Sonic Holigraphy" Very close to a surround sound. I believe a CT23 had it, among others. I remember you have to set it up very cafefully, speakers placement, that is.
