Actually, you need three identical channels )including speakers to

stereo techniques is always the way to go for real stereophonic sound.

Uh-oh - I think we may have argued about this one before, but.... curious,
why would you characterize X-Y or M-S as "real" stereophonic sound? What
sort of theory of stereo are you operating under? Anything deeper than
Blumlein's patent?
