human ears are way more complicated than a mic or speaker. mics and speakers are rather directional in the way they're made... whereas the human ear i guess you could say is unidirectional, or at least can hear things from a much wider angle. also, in real world environments, sounds are originated from multiple locations, not just 2 locations aimed right at your ear. this is where the idea for multiple speakers comes into play. play a youtube video of a car passing to your left or right. now go out to the street and listen to a car pass you... notice any difference?
