It's certainly true that binaural recordings played through headphones have by FAR the most realistic soundstage I've ever heard. It's really eerie how realistic they sound, even on medium to low quality phones.I think the future is probably sophisticated digital processors which compensate for the listening environment and speaker system and adjust the phase etc. appropriately. Suppose we replace CDs with a new digital format that contains information about the recording venue, including multiple tracks recorded by mics at different positions (that information is usually kept by record companies so they can make new mixes and re-release them). There would be a digital pre-amp that calibrates itself once to the speakers and the listening room with a few measurements, and then processes the recording based on that information and the information in the digital file so as to produce the most realistic result at the listening position.
Not simple, but well within reach of current technology, I would say.
