>Meanwhile the surroundsoundphiles just shake their heads and wonder why anyone would want to listen to two-channel stereo.<The converse is also true. And tubeheads wonder how anyone could ever tolerate solid state, digital mavens wonder about LP aficionados, planar folks can't understand how anyone could listen to box speakers, etc etc etc. Gotta love audio - there are as many ways to do it as their are people with opinions.
As for your curiosity above, two-channel lovers probably haven't heard surround sound that is as good as two-channel. In some cases, they simply haven't experimented enough. In other cases, they've purchased the wrong software. I've heard some surround that sounds better than any two-channel - just not enough. I'll pick up on surround sound when it becomes more consistent. As of now, two channel does it better 9 times out of 10, IME.
One main reason I want to listen to two-channel is multiple thousands of LP's and CD's recorded in two-channel. I have no intention of replacing even one of them in a multi channel format but I would consider buying new music in surround if the benefits was worth the price of admission. So far, they aren't.
