What I'm saying is that there are inherent limitations to stereo recordings and that the more accurate playback the more clearly these limitations are displayed; in other words, the recording doesn't sound like the original live performance in certain respects - the lack of height being one of them. And some of these limitations may be compensated for (not necessarily intentionally) by deviations from accuracy. Height, which doesn't exist on the two-channel recording, can be simulated by reflections from floor and ceiling as well as by the size of the speaker itself. This sense of height is spurious and inaccurate but to some listeners it gives the impression, however inaccurate, of this aspect of live music better than a more accurate reproduction of the height encoded on the recording would. And a bipolar speaker often gives a greater sense of space than a forward-radiating speaker even if the latter is notionally more accurate.
