Re: Since you asked...

I'll take issue with "However, if a multi-channel listener has her/his system set up properly and if that same system is also used for two channel listening (by definition the two channel system would also be set up properly) then ..." as well.

I'm a big fan of more absorption (vs. diffusion) in my setup. I like my MC room to be as dead as possible without being uncomfortable. I have all direct radiating front ported speakers ... For MC I'm certainly not a fan of live end dead end or dipoles or bipoles ..., tho lots of people get great sound with them in a stereo system.

Also, for example, in my system with MC material you are totally immersed in a very deep soundstage: you don't even think about how deep the soundstage is... When I use stereo material the soundstage is foreshortened by my front wall. With my equipment I could pull the speakers further into the room to make the stereo soundstage better, but that would shrink my 20' ITU circle for MC (since my rear speakers can't move back.)

Don't get me wrong my stereo isn't bad, but I sure would have set things up differently if I wanted it to be better and didn't care about MC.
