Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of spatial audio in most respects. When it works, it can be impressive -- for instance, adding an extra layer of immersion to movies. But it's not always mixed properly, and even when it is, I can live without it. It often feels gimmicky. To paraphrase an argument I've made elsewhere, many of my favorite movies were originally mixed for stereo or Dolby Surround -- it's not like I'm upset that I can't hear the Hueys flying overhead in Apocalypse Now. I've also put my money where my mouth is, buying a Sonos Ray soundbar instead of one with support.
