I'm pretty sure if I dug around I could find results from acoustic journals that document the results of scientific tests which prove that it is possible to show that stereo imaging can and does extend beyond the width of a pair of speakers. That's not to say that everyone will hear the same thing, but would you consider it reasonable to claim that the world might not be colourful because some people are colour-blind and can only see black and white?
