I have the ability to do multi channel for music but I rarely do to the fact that I prefer what my main speakers give me in two channel playback. Plus in my opinion when I hear live music it comes to me from a stage and for the most part the sound is coming from that stage. I knoe people talk about the effects of using the rear and center speakers to produce the reverberated sounds from the rear and such but most listenig rooms do this naturaly and if you can adjust your room to take advantage of this and also to quil the things in your room that ruin the response and boost frequencies unnaturally I believe two channel is still the way to go in most situations.
