When I listen to my system.......
Every "performance" is different. For instance, there is a big difference between watching a 3 man folk piece in a small venue and a full blown Hans Zimmer concert with a full orchestra and all kinds of electronic elements fused together....Or go...

@deep_333  Why don’t you spend a minute or two describing to us “two channel guys” your awesome multi-channel rig. Obviously you have achieved this nirvana you describe. Everything should be listed on my profile...Like i said, i didn't even sp...

I’ve listened to pretty much every configuration (5.1 through 13.4.4) and while it provides a cool effect it doesn’t move me in the way that even a mediocre two channel system does. Movies? Sure - give me that immersive feeling with planes flying... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
@emergingsoul They are both not very good. Get the Marantz AV10 (You will get better sound than Storm or some Trinnovs without the latter’s headaches). https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/marantz-av10-av-processor-review.... 
Audiophile system with Yamaha core and wired main and wireless remotes
I certainly considered Musicast. Unfortunately the selection of speakers compatible with Musicast WiFi seem still limited to Yamaha products. As much as I trust Yamaha gear, speakers don’t seem their strength, and my impression of Musicast compa...

2 channel and surround are different They are not different. The ultimate hope of a 2 channel rig (as you spend more and more and more) is that it hopes to provide the soundfield, spatial nuance and detail characteristic of a correctly setup mu...

Driver quality is far and away the biggest contributor to speaker performance, followed by cabinet construction. Crossover component quality is third at most, presuming the crossover circuit is otherwise competently designed.  I get why some enj... 
Devore O/96 with Luxman 88uc
Never heard a Devore that didn't sound goofy/lackluster.... Lower powered tube guys don't have very many great choices for speakers. Try the GR Research Bully (approx $6000) with that Luxman or some Tekton monitor that was designed with tubes in... 
Audiophile system with Yamaha core and wired main and wireless remotes
The R-N2000A is a stereo receiver (stereo integrated amp with built-in dac/streaming capability) for 2 channel audio. It is for stereo use and won't accommodate any additional wireless speakers. The Aventage line of Yamaha receivers, RX-A4A, RX-A... 
AA for us
I also like Haroun - A British Audiophile's rule of thumb when upgradi It's TARUN (not Haroun or Heroin)...I understand it's not as common as BillyBob or Cheesyslob, but, it's a rather easy name to say. Simply add a TA in front of a RUN, not to...

@deep_333  To me the phrase "awful multichannel setup" is redundant. Yes, I suppose a music surround system can be initially impressive, especially to the novice listener, but does anyone really want to be subjected to musical inaccuracy in the l...

The stupid premise of the original post should be enough to suck it into that black hole of darkness..... Play this reference audiophile track on your stereo and feel the expansiveness of soundstage, speakers disappearing, etc. I get the feelin...

This issue with a more solid "meat on the bones" sound, and a sense that everything is dead solid perfect with golden age analog is fascinating to me because it's hard to know for sure why this is. We can look at the signal that was originally co...

A mere two speakers has inherent issues and limitations. But so far, to my ears, it’s hard to get multi-channel to sound as good on music. I’ve tried up-mixing 2 channel recordings to a 3 channel with derived center using various methods because ... 
Recommend a desktop nearfield speaker for me
Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I’m noticing that many of these manufacturers are recommending amplifier powers a little above the 20W that my LTA UL+ produces. For example Focal recommends 25W minimum, Fyne Audio (F500SP) & Mofi (...
