I think our home stereo is up so that the amplifier's speaker output

separate subwoofer output like newer ones do, I guess.

I always thought it was because a) low
frequencies are hard to
localise, so panning them wildly left and right won't really do much...
Many home sound systems today simply sum the bass energy from both
channels into a single subwoofer anyway. It doesn't matter where in the
room the subwoofer is located, because our ears are too close together
to detect a phase difference at those frequencies.
