    It may help to remember that you only have two ears to hear that entire orchestra. So with only two speakers, you can reproduce said orchestra. By the time it makes it to your ear, the sound vibrations aren’t a bunch of separate waves; They have combined into a compound wave, with all of the constructive and destructive interference that goes along with that. What you hear is the sum of all the sound waves around you, not each individual source of the waves.
