That reflected sound is crucial, and concert hall designers go to great lengths to make sure it has the proper characteristics. The sense of envelopment one gets at a concert hall can't in practice be duplicated at home with passive means, because the room is too small and insufficiently diffuse, and because the venues at which recordings are made vary so acoustically that acoustical treatment that was right for one kind of recording would be wrong for another. Many studies have examined and documented the importance of reverberant energy to subjective audio quality.
Not only is it impossible to reproduce the original acoustical sense with two channels, it's impossible to get the tonal balance right for all kinds of music. A flat speaker will be too bright for a recording made in a large hall, a down-sloped speaker will be too rolled off for a recording made in a small one.
Bottom line: Properly done, surround is significantly more realistic than two channel. And this is a universal reaction, I have never seen a comparison in which every member of the audience didn't prefer the surround presentation.
