I would dismiss it completely because it's contrary to how people
consume media other than people who attend live acoustic
performances. At least for now, media consumption is pointed
at earbuds, camera video and tablets/phones.


So, out of respect for the tastes of the great unwashed, one should not
acquire or listen to surround recordings?



It might not hurt you to get out a little more...

I don't know if that's true, but it's worth thinking about. By yourself,
in a quiet room.
