Look, I'm trying to turn down the temperature a bit and I will. But what you have said has been debunked so much so often. I have not heard that argument in about 6 years.
Look, any attempt that an audiophile makes to recreate a live performance in their listening room, regardless of the number of "channels", is going to sound "fake" in comparison. Neither of our rigs can close that gap.
So as an audiophile who always wears his "audiophile cap" when I attend or record (I am a professional videographer) an event, I figured out long ago there is *always* room for improvement in this hobby. And I'm not talking about some lilliputian short term improvement that audiophiles have a tendency to fall all over themselves about (power cords, interconnects, dedicated AC lines, or even speakers or amps or larger sound stages, etc.). Great multi-channel transcends all that stuff. I'm talking major *fundamental* improvement like going from great mono to great stereo or black and white TV to color. That's what properly implemented SACD (hardware and software) and other hi-rez multi-channel can (and does) bring to the audio experience. Even beyond current SOTA multi-channel there is immense room for advancement to further close the gap between what I experience at the concert hall and *any* audiophile experience that I have yet been apart of. Trying to "explain" it get's loss in translation.
So, unless you experience it for yourself you will never know. It is not enough to say that because you (not you personally) have not experienced it that it does not exist or that it doesn't "work" or that it is a matter of "taste" (at the dawn of stereo many mono adherents argued that stereo was a matter of "taste"...and it was with poorly done sources). The bottom line is, that unlike some of us here, who have also excellent two channel rigs (yours truly) and rooms, and who have discovered a pathway to an unprecedented advance in sound quality, you have never experienced a pronounced improvement over your own current system or two channel technology. You have never experienced that revelation and you really do believe that two channel is as good as it can possibly get in recreating a live experience in the home. No! No! No! Well, I'm rootin' (not proselytizing) for you to have that "celestial" like revelation that I and others have experienced.
