...the rear channels? Crowd noise? Echo? Or, is the orientation of the recording done in a way that the listener gets the illusion that they are sitting in the middle of the band? I really don't get "surround sound" as a concept. I used to have a pretty decent HT system (Klipsch, Sunfire) and even bought a few DTS audio discs. After I got over the "wow" factor of hearing instruments coming from all directions, I realized it sounded very unnatural. Not to mention the actual instruments didn't sound very good. Call me an audio-saurus, but I like music in front of me. Just like it is when I go to a live performance.
