Spoiled? You mean as in no imaging because of the use of the center channel which flattens the space out, or do you mean unmusical over the top bass because of the use of the .1 channel?
Every multichannel set up I have heard (including the "state of the art" Meridian system at Ambrosia Audio in Belair) sounds like mono, just the opposite of what one expects. For whatever reason 2 channel does a better job of giving the illusion of depth, seperation, and soundstage width.
