For those of you who prefer two channel. . .

. . . I have a couple of questions:

When you're at a live concert, is all of the applause entirely in front of you, or is some or most of it behind you?

Have you ever listened from the side of your system (and facing 90 degrees from where you normally listen)? Do you really feel you can hear the back of the recorded space (club, auditorium, concert hall, or whatever) with only your two front channels?

When I "listen sideways" with my mismatched multichannel system, it's as if the back wall of my living room disappears, replaced by the actual acoustic space of the recording. Yes, my RF and LF speakers and amplification are quite a bit better than than my center, RR, and LR channels, but even so, I find the multi-channel listening experience so superior that I would never go back to two-channel if I can avoid it.

Of course everyone's mileage varies!
