1. A decoder system for providing a stereo signal by complex prediction stereo coding, the decoder system comprising:

  • an upmix stage adapted to generate the stereo signal based on first frequency domain representations of a downmix signal and a residual signal, each of the first frequency-domain representations comprising first spectral components representing spectral content of the corresponding signal expressed in a first subspace of a multidimensional space, the upmix stage comprising;

    a module for computing a second frequency-domain representation of the downmix signal based on the first frequency-domain representation thereof, the second frequency-domain representation comprising second spectral components representing spectral content of the signal expressed in a second subspace of the multidimensional space that includes a portion of the multidimensional space not included in the first subspace;

    a weighted summer for computing a side signal on the basis of the first and second frequency-domain representations of the downmix signal, the first frequency-domain representation of the residual signal and a complex prediction coefficient encoded in the bit stream signal; and

    a sum-and-difference stage for computing the stereo signal on the basis of the first frequency-domain representation of the downmix signal and the side signal,wherein the upmix stage is adapted to apply independent bandwidth limits for the downmix signal and the residual signal.
