An audio system is provided. The audio system has a first speaker assembly having a first steerable audio beam and a second speaker assembly having a second steerable audio beam. A control system is in communication with the first and second speaker assemblies and is programmed to receive a sweet-spot input signal indicative of a sweet-spot area having stereo surround sound. The controller commands the first and second speaker assemblies to adjust at least one of parameter of the first and second steerable audio beams so that the second steerable audio beam intersects the first steerable audio beam to form the sweet-spot area at the intersection.
