My soundstage is jess' fine, thank you.
And I admit that I enjoy it even though it's sort of an adornment.

Stereo, especially good stereo with soundstage, is more than an adornment. It can help one follow the polyphony.

OK...
I agree that multi-channel sound "can help one follow the polyphony". But of course that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy even mono recordings. A lot of it is matching the technology to the source, the bigger the source...
I'm especially fond of pipe organs, always the gadgeteer I suppose, and I think that a lot of their sonic appeal is spacial as you are effectively inside the beasts. Probably a candidate for surround sound but I've never had a system. I believe stereo or more can make quite a difference with certain material but I've never noticed "pinpoint" imaging and such in concerts, actually I pretty much have to watch for the scraping of the bows to get a fix on the sound.
That being the case, I probably should be buying DVD's rather than CD's and SACD's. If I really want to go to the next level seeing seems more important than more audio channels.

An adornment? Now I'm sure you're not an insider.
I liked your original post better, our hobby is all about happiness!
