Sharp explains in excruciating detail how the SD-SP10 surround sound single speaker works, but the gist of it is, it's one speaker, and it sounds like a whole lot of them, even in a big room. It is also small, especially as compared to the typical pile of speakers required to generate a similar effect, and at an MSRP of $349, a pretty good-sounding deal (ack, pardon me). CNet notes that it's not quite as good for people who are off to the side, but if your priorities are aesthetics and budget, you're probably not a Robert Fripp-grade audiophile to begin with. [GT]
