Also, no one said eliminating reverb.

so there is a different type of reverb called "stadium effect" these days? nope. Sound is either reflected, absorbed or diffused. The goal of acoustic treatment in conventional 2 channel audio is to achieve a reasonable and compromised balance of these at the boundaries, such that you create a reasonable facsimile of space and venue. Also controlling of room nodes and bass frequencies of course.
audiophiles don't have multichannel listening rooms because there isnt much good material as previously discussed. Also audiophiles arnt exactly a good benchmark study group for scientific rigor.
You are entitled to your own opinions of course. But its clear they arnt supported by a technical basis.
