The text carcass93 quoted
"I still listen to 2-channel stereo music, but it's seldom listened to through 2 speakers: it's listened through 5 to 7 channels via an up-mixer like Logic 7. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The up-mixing gives me a center channel (missing in stereo), a much wider sweet spot (also missing), and a sense of envelopment and spaciousness that is entirely devoid in 2 channel reproduction. I'd rather be in the concert hall listening to Bach that looking through a window into the concert hall."
I have often pointed out that one really needs to quote in context. Sean is obviously answering a question, and he said that:
"The up-mixing gives me a center channel (missing in stereo), a much wider sweet spot (also missing), and a sense of envelopment and spaciousness that is entirely devoid in 2 channel reproduction."
So, we have a context of comparing of what happens in his multichannel system with stereo recordings as opposed to 2 speaker stereo. Sean mentioned 3 things, two of which are so obvious one wonders how anyone could misunderstand them, but that didn't stop c93 or E-stat. So, Sean says his own system can provide "a sense of envelopment and spaciousness that is entirely devoid in 2 channel reproduction."
Now, the article used is "*a* sense of envelopment and spaciousness" in his system that is not found in stereo, but this is hardly to say that stereo cannot have *any* sense of envelopment and spaciousness. I'm sorry that the subtleties of language and textual interpretation elude you.
