I agree, 2x6spds.
And the challenge comes in part from the enormous difficulty in reproducing the stunning ambience and auditory atmosphere of a carefully designed concert hall, or perhaps that of a 16th-century ball room for baroque orchestras.
Personally, I am optimistic that technologies like the DPL II will help on that aspect, and this has been one of my motivations to upgrade my stereo to a 5.1 setup. Am I erring on this thought? I know there are many people who would never listen to 2-ch materials via anything other than the straight stereo mode. Do things like DPL II and neo:6 more often degrade rather than enhance the sound quality and listening experience of 2-ch recordings?
