Cliff, in my own assumption i would say that they implemented 10 drivers, so that EACH speaker had its own driver, it would process the sounds to where they need to go, send it to that driver, to that speaker, and it would play through it, that way you're not meshing more than 1 speaker to play a single sound. but i have no clue LAWL. I still feel you need nothing more than a 2.1 setup (or even the 2.2 they have coming out along with the Tiamat 7.1). But i can't say i practice what i preach since i now own a pair of Turtle Beach's

Essentially, think of each speaker as its own sound card, using different drivers to control the aspect of those speakers to do their own thing.
