RE: Is that a new experience for you?

With two speakers the room is in front of you, not behind. In addition to the Left vs. Right from the two speakers you get depth information from the instruments based on reverberant sound vs. direct sound and also volume. You can also hear reflections off of walls in the hall, e.g. the back wall of the stage and the side wall and the stage floor. The wet computer between the ears figures out the sounds. This process works best if there are only a few microphones, e.g. one for left channel and one for right channel in a Blumlein pair.

It seems rather hard to believe that someone could call themselves an audiophile and not have experienced the walls disappearing and then sought out an explanation.
