I once listened to a Krell home system with Wilson Watt Puppies (just two speakers) and the soundstage it presented was incredible.
In my car I could give a rats a$$. I like rear speakers too. Just give me music and make it loud and fill the car please.
and on that note, I agree that rear speakers will distort the systems soundstage, as left and right are no longer clearly defined. Its just that I don't care but I can understand why some people do.

Good explanation, that made sense to me. I guess its like you dont really "get" it until you hear it. Its kind of like when I heard audiophile quality home stereo system for the first time. I thought I had good speakers until I heard that system, then I was like....oh.
