To enjoy four channel sound with the 4soniq, you will need four powered speakers (e.g. two sets of 2.1 computer speakers setup up as Front Left, Front Right, Surround Left and Surround Right), and the appropriate software.

To enjoy stereo channel sound with the 2soniq, you will need two powered speakers (e.g. one set of 2.1 computer speakers setup up as Left and Right). Almost all software written for the IIgs supports stereo sound.
