I believe that angle between speakers are important. We will fuse
angles of 60 degrees or less. I have found that 45 degrees fuse well
and most people are unable to locate speakers. I also found that with
height helps fuse the image. I use B+ which adds a stereo front
earlier in time plus B format. The early time of arrival from the
stereo front helps in both richness and localization.
