RE: Stereo vs. multichannel: what are your thoughts on this statement (inside).

For me, it's all about chasing an apparent purity in acoustic instruments and voices, and most of that is in the midrange, which is why I'm satisfied with relatively small speakers and no sub. And it's about imaging, which is where I depart from Dr. Olive. I'm a long-time headphone listener, and as far as balance, purity and coherency are concerned, it is very difficult for any speaker system, in any room, to equal a reference headphone set up. But they simply cannot image like stereo speakers can. And I almost never listen to music as background, so imaging is most of my reason to own speakers.
