Well, I don't totally agree.
It is not surround so it does'nt sound how it should with all the effects. True.
BUT I have heard a demo with 4 phantoms. I can't remember the movie, but they show us the difference between 2 phantoms (front) and 4 phantoms (front and rear), and there was a big gap. It was very pleasing with 4 phantoms.
Even without the real surround, just in double stereo, it really filled the room. There was a huge difference. Just because there was sound behind us, we were wrapped by it.
The sound seems more like what you have in a movie theatre.
It was very good to immerse you in the movie.
I don't have a room where I can put two more phantoms behind my couch, so I will stay with a stereo setup, but it was really good. I liked it a lot.
And it will even be better with the surround effects...
(there was of course a delay of 200ms, which to me was very annoying, and still is)
