Nop. Very real. There’s a LinusTechTips video about them from a few years ago. Some people just love to buy snakeoil
If all you do is listening to music then a decent stereo system is all anyone could ever need.
5.1 is surround sound, only really good for movies (although there, surround is worth a lot for immersiveness)
I‘d argue, that’s what one does when comparing equipment. But as soon as one has found the right equipment, the goal is still enjoying the music.
Exceptions are of course the kind of audiophile who constantly need newer and better equipment and especially the kind of audiophiles who buy „audiophile network switches“ so the bits of their tidal subscription come through „cleaner“.
Most of us just want to get the most out of our favourite songs.
Well you still need a decent pair of cans to properly hear the barf on the recording
How loud do you need it to be that a decent stereo system won’t manage?
I‘d prefer two large speakers over 7 small ones, unless I’m watching a movie with surround sound. And even then I‘d prefer 5 larger ones over 7 smaller ones.
