I don't know if I understand your post correctly, but if you are thinking of a stereo operation out of one speaker whether it is Maui 5, Bose Compact, or even a stereo amp such as the SA300, BA330, or the smaller KC110, you won't get much stereo effects at all. I think that's where the Centerpoint Stereo comes in. I won't go into detail here but owners of the Centerpoint are doing very creative things with Centerpoint and other speakers they already have. You might want to read some posts on Musicplayer.com. I have connected my Centerpoint to some amps in my possesion; the Acoustic Image Corus, the subwoofer of the Maui 11, and the Maui 28. The funny thing is that I think I got the bess results out of a dirt cheap home hifi subwoofer just as Aspen the inventor of the Centerpoint experiences. Anyway, Tthey all work well but I am considering getting a smaller sub with more features and control by Monoprice http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=605999. I understand it is really for the studio, but I don't need a lot of bass, and I can use the sub for different purposes.

If you are going to run two Maui 5s, I am sure that you will get full stereo. I think DNJ once confirmed for me that the column speaker of the Maui 5 splits in half, and that is very important, because the Maui 11 doesn't split and it is pretty clumsy to carry that speaker around. I alsmost bought this line array speaker; Turbo iP series http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/IP500 Good reviews, but only the largest model splits in half.

Btw, none of these line array amps such as the Maui5, Turbosound IP series, and the Compact seems to have a stereo link like the Roland SA300 or the BA330. Stereo links are very handy.
