"But an important fact which hasn't been mentioned in this thread is the fact that not all instruments radiate their sound in the same manner. A trumpet sounds very different at different angles from a flute or a timpani or a clarinet or the human voice. Yet, current technology limits us to reproducing all instruments via a single radiation pattern, which is not normal."
Assuming the recording has captured a good representation of the reverberant energy of these different instruments, I think a good Two Streams setup has a better chance than most systems of delivering that reverberant energy in a convincing manner. This probably sounds counter-intuitive, as at first glance it looks like we're adding "more listening room" sound to the presentation, but I think the ear/brain system can do a better job of picking out the reverberant energy on the recording when it's presented this way, rather than only coming from the front of the speakers. See my post linked below, which offers some anecdotal evidence of this.
