There are some excellent multichannel recordings but in general I can not get excited about the multichannel sound with DSP or discrete channels just too fatiguing and unnatural compared to the best of two channel (LP, CD, SACD, DVD running in 2 channel mode). Also, and not a small consideration, this world's resources can not put up with obsolescence by design formats that dump, for the purpose of keeping up, toxic ladden receivers and/or processors in our landfills or, worse, the roadsides of 3rd world countries. No longer can this be labeled tree hunging by some. Call it your last resort hunging.
