Can you elaborate on this a little? Then maybe we can discuss the possible reasons why?

Because the inability of a nice phantom image on the side with the front and rear speakers the rear speakers serve only one purpose for me. The diffuse part of the reverb. As this part of the sound has no "direction" in real life the ear seems to ignore the fact it comes from a little box instead of all sides.
Which I suppose brings us back to the immersion effect.

I look forward to the day when research catches up and we are able to place phantom source objects in a real 3D field but we are a long way from there.
