In all fairness: the human auditory system is far more clever, not to
mention complicated, than you seem to realize. I can tell where sounds
are coming from pretty much over the whole 4 pi steradians, as can most
people. So the x.1 or x.3 (cute) systems do provide a deeper experience
for at least some listeners.

Confession: I have two speakers in my stereo setup, and am satisfied
with that most of the time. I have also listened to surround sound -
not at home :-) - and enjoyed it immensely...
