Interest in 2-channel/stereo audio and prices here and other sites

Simply open wonderment and what I have seen/noticed.  With some of the brands I have owned and tracked, I saw the interest in 2 channel music audio fade with the multi channel video growth and now it seems prices for some classic 2 channel audio products are on the rise.  Not making any statement other than the sound of live music vs. artificial multi channel/nothing like live music.  

Have any of you bit the "surround sound" bug only to go back to two channel music?
