Thanks for your comments and I do agree that the performance standards for the components and setup are the same. I disagree with your statement/question that multichannel "will not improve the fidelity of any system, how can it?"
Fidelity has many parameters. Considering the spatial domain only, the simulation of the "own hall effect in your listening room" created by stereo relies heavily on the acoustical contributions of the individual listening room. That simulation may be convincing but it cannot be accurate since it will be different in every good stereo setup.
The way in which good multichannel improves the fidelity over good stereo is in the spatial domain by substantially replacing the hall effect of your listening room with that of the performance space.
Satisfaction, of course, is in the mind of the listener.
