RE: And yet...

BUT I believe that that's due to the characteristics of our pinnae (and head-related transfer Fn. in general) along with the radiation patterns of our speakers rather than any sort of actual vertical positional data in the recording.

Perhaps you read more into my comments than I intended. Some speakers provide a lifelike image size while mini monitors don't. Even mono images can sound real to me if not miniaturized. :)

I don't find any metric to quantify that (important to me) criteria.

edit: Regarding the number of channels used, I run Polk mini monitors in the HT system. It's Oppo 103 can play MC SACD recordings and I've got a couple of Telarc examples. While they sound nice and spacious, the MC thing cannot compensate for the vertical image compression as far as fooling me that the sound source is live.
