Listening to music in multichannel mode

[Schollaudio]

Early Beatles stereo recordings do surprisingly well in Pro Logic. The hard left and right panning.

Up sampled content. I don't have any native Auro.. does anyone have any ?

Sure, there's quite a bit, I've been seeing more and more lately.
Immersive Audio Album (IAA) offers quite a bit in both Atmos and Auro formats
There's also a number of BluRay music discs in Auro.
More.

There are labels (e.g., 2L.no, trptk.com and spiritofturtle.com) that sell Auro-3D files embedded in FLAC as part of their downloadable music productions in various formats. The recorded from above acoustic reflections are mixed into 5.1, 7.1 or even 9.1 PCM streams. An Auro-3D capable device will decode the original 3D information. If there is no suitable decoder, then the original surround PCM recording will be rendered.

I'm not really into the music genres published on these labels. Can you recommend some releases for newbies who like spatial audio?

I enjoy some features of multichannel music.
(I have a nice surround system in my room, which shares Home Theatre duties with music listening)

I “ watch” a lot of music performances on YouTube, which sound terrific up mixed to my surround Home Theatre system.

I also enjoy sometimes listening to up mixed two channel to surround. Sometimes I choose a matrix processing the produces a stereo signal across the left centre right speaker. I find this can add a satisfying scale and heft to the sound versus only playing stereo on the left and right channel.

I also enjoy some of the matrix is that produce some more aggressive surround, where they also extract some objects from the two channel to send to the surrounds. Mostly I appreciate that with electronic music.

And I also appreciate some of Apple’s surround mixes.

All that said if I had to choose only one system to listen to music on, it would definitely be my two channel system, which I have very finally honed to a higher degree of precision. Overall, it sounds more engaging and realistic.

If you dumped the two system approach and all the obsolete gear (vinyl, tubes) you've spent tens of thousands on.
Then focused all the money and effort into a single "higher degree of precision" multich system, you'd have a system equal to the 2ch rig you currently own, plus one that can also go miles beyond that, capable of playing immersive files that sounds "yet even more engaging and realistic."
