Exactamente (; However I'm not sure I agree that our hearing cant tell the difference between whether a sound is coming from one or several speakers - especially if you are close to the soundsource - in my experience people have pretty good localisation sometimes in the region of centimetres. One example was I had to make the sound of fire come from a burnt bush - you know crackling etc - it was dark and there was vegetation around this burnt bush. The speaker cable wasnt long enough so I had the speaker hidden about 15 cm to the right of the bush in the undergrowth. People walking through turned their heads to look at the burning sound in the exact patch of vegetation where the speaker was and not at the burnt bush right next to it - despite the cognitive effects of vision, suggestion etc I think when it comes to point sources if you want to have a sound coming from in front of you to have any energy coming out the bins in any other direction , especially behind you should be avoided if possible. That said ambisonics is capable of producing some quite wonderful effects which would be quite impossible in nature.
