Hi Paul,

I did not state, nor did I mean to imply, ambisonic is a flashy way of saying 
stereo.

Basic xy captures width and depth, and many people would consider it three 
dimensional. Adding "true" to that, does not reveal anything more.  Height and 
rear imagery may be useful for some applications, but even if ambisonic can 
create a more realistic sense of the recording location, and even if some users 
will be amazed by capabilities, that still does not make it "true" - what ever 
that is.
