You just can't reproduce sounds from behind you with
speakers in front of you. It's impossible.

This is not entirely true, actually the ears works as a filter, so that
sounds comming from behind will have a dramatic drop in the 8 kHz area. This
means that if you cut the 8kHz area from a sound image, it will appear as
the sound is comming from behind.

I don't think it's that simple. Let's say you play some bass notes on
speakers in front of you. There is no 8KHz in those bass notes. How can
the ear interpret those as coming from the behind?

How can it interpret them as coming from *any* location? Ever tried to
decide which phone in a modern office is ringing?
