"Because we're trying to reproduce music, not just sound"
Let me fix it for you:
We are trying to reproduce a stereo mix which boils down to multi channels such as guitar, vocals, drums, bass, keyboard, mic's that pic up room echo, etc. being processed into left and right. Then we obsess about how to fix things when the "images" are bunched up due to:
underpowered (chose your class and topology) amp, poor cables, poor transducer dispersion, lowly preamps, fill in the blank...
The concept of imaging w.r.t. the stereo mix is met with skepticism in my mind...sure I like "holographic" sound but it's all an illusion.
