How come those who love to be surrounded by sound are fine watching a flat 2 dimensional image. I would think there would be a push for something like cinerama

But 3D still requires glasses and my screen is as wide as the throw length permits.
I'm also stuck in two channel world. Can't say I'm happy about any of it. In fact, having heard some of Wendell Diller's compelling three-channel demos, most recently at THE, two-channel doesn't sound right to me anymore -- there's a big difference between the ethereal sound of the phantom image with its tonal distortion and the solidity conferred by a center speaker.
And concert hall recordings have never sounded right to me in two channel. With a good setup, the sense of imaging and depth is impressive, but it's like listening through a window. I can get much the same "hi fi" effect by cupping my ears in a concert hall. By the time you're a few rows back in a concert hall, you're in the far field and more than half of what you hear is reflected sound. Two channel just can't reproduce that -- it's fine for studio pop but I find it doesn't sound right for larger scale acoustical venues.
Guess you missed my point
Sound makes no images either

I predicted that 3D TV would fail, can not see any point for 4K either.
4K allows you to use a screen that subtends a larger part of your field of view. There's no advantage if you're watching at a normal viewing distance on say a 55" monitor, but with a larger display, you'll definitely see it.
3D will eventually happen but not until they start selling autostereoscopic displays -- I don't think most people are going to want to wear glasses for casual TV watching.
I listen to music. I don't really care about images, video, etc..
