stupid sacd question

I share Fatparrot's concerns, though perhaps not his judgement on muti channel per se. The thing is a high end 5.1 system is not only costly but importantly takes up quite a degree of space and secondly though I am sure when done well Multichannel sounds great, the thing is that a lot of times the mastering is odd: too much infor via the rear channels etc.

As such, for now, for audio only, I am more intent on improving my 2 channel's systems ability

Fatparrot, yes, we are old farts!

In my (our) day we had the music coming at us from all directions, although if I remember correctly, it was mostly drug induced.

For SACD to be trully the pot-o-gold in multichannel music reproduction, a listener must be positioned in the perfect place, in the perfect room and with the perfect acoustic treatment. I have found it easier to "approach" (only) that (perfect) scenario with 2-channel. I wish only the best of wishes to those hardy souls who attempt the former.

cld not be the same thing be said w/ regard to the sweet spot in 2 channel?
