Do you need more than two speakers for surround sound?

While two speakers can provide stereo sound, surround sound typically requires at least five speakers: a center speaker, a subwoofer, and three front speakers (left, center, and right). For a more immersive experience, additional surround speakers can be added, typically placed to the sides and/or behind the listener. So, the answer is Yes, typically more than two speakers are required for surround sound.
