Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources

As a HT novice I would very much like some guidance as to which AVR's/Processors are known for their ability to make a 2 ch source sound really good at a high end level? I find rear channel added ambiance to be enriching to the listening experience.In my case most of the source material will redbook cds. Also is a center channel speaker imperative for this scenario? Any guidance will be appreciated.

I also like the SST Trinaural Processor. I wrote a review here on Audiogon.

With rare exceptions derived rear channels don't work well. IMHO Three (L CTR, RT) with the SST Trinaural Processor is a big improvement over 2 CH, but four or five out of two is too much to ask.
