2channel vs surround listening

Hi everyone. I’ve had my system in a few weeks now and am listening to music more now than I have in a long time. It’s fantastic. From reading everyone’s comments it seems 2channel listening is superior to surround. Is this because because the electronics are better for 2 channel systems? Or are there other factors involved? I’ve tried both and surround sounded pretty good. I don’t have a dedicated 2 channel integrated yet so music and movies are run through a Marantz 8805 and MC 8207. Thanks for your input!

@millercarbon. Thanks for the honest reply. I enjoy and have learned a lot for reading your posts in this very short time in this hobby. I’m looking forward to being able to have a 2 channel as part of my system as well 

@ recluse. You hit the nail on the head. I felt immersed in the sound a little more than in stereo mode. I think it will b nice to have both options available. Thank you
