Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel

Speakers can also have varying degrees of depth, hight, and surround if set up correctly and they are time aligned. Try Roger Waters....Amused to Death.

Phantom of the Opera sounds fantastic on just about everything.

Accurately recording the ambient information of an actual venue and music event, takes careful mic placement and is the most fragile(easiest lost)of what is contained in your audio signal. Your entire playback chain, source to ear, is responsible for it's preservation. On the other hand; Amused to Death, and quite a few other albums, were mixed/recorded using a system called QSound, which(via an algorithm) enables even a simple and inexpensive system to throw images that can amaze and entertain: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Sound)

BTW: I've heard crappy pressings of the Amused to Death CD(exact same Columbia UPC 074644712728) that miserably failed to reproduce 3D effects, when compared with a good disc, on a system that performed wonderfully. SO- If you do try the Roger Waters, and it doesn't perform as expected; it may not be your system.

Rodman...having said that, if they do try the vinyl version of "Amused to Death" they are more likely to be seriously impressed than not. ;)

A friend lent me his $400 dollar acquisition and it was unbelievably good. (I was also flattered that he trusted me so much because I only found out about the price later(!)) :D
