"good loud speaker cost many wolf skins, grug wife not happy" - Tell me about it...

"surround sound only good when grug wife watch movie. more speakers make more echo in cave. grug prefer stereo amp, less echo"

Grug's choice, but some, including Floyd Toole, believe that Grug may be short-changing himself ...

"As good as stereo can be, more channels are better for a single listener, and most definitely for multiple listeners. Unfortunately the 5- or 7-channel options almost universally used in movies have been not been commercially successful in the music domain, even though they are capable of more engaging reproductions. The new “immersive” formats, employing even more channels and loudspeakers, were created for movies, where they provide exciting spatial dynamics, but some demonstrations of music programs provide compelling impressions of real concert halls or cathedrals, even as one moves around the listening room."

grug agree on single listener, but grug skeptical of many listener

will not ear of young grug receive delayed signal from speaker when cooking t-rex by edge of fire? grug think this delay impossible to avoid, unless speaker highly directed which not case in most 5-channel caves

but grug will clarify wolf skins better spent on fewer, better speaker than many average speaker (in grug opinon)

I'm always running out of wolves to skin, so no multichannel in my cave.
