Golden_ears- The problem is most SACD enthusiasts(myself included) are using them in stereo's. Multichannel would cost WAY to much money not to mention needing a HUGE room to make it happen the "right" way. I only know one person who has a high end multichannel system with SACD and he doesn't post here, try http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/bbs.html or http://www.sa-cd.net/forum and search a bit or post this subject at either place and you'll get more information. Good luck.
Best multichannel SACDs?
I know there are a lot of excellent two channel SACDs out there of two channel recordings. I've tried some.
However, what about multi-channel SACDs?
I'm looking for some opinions on what you think are good surround recordings on SACD that DO NOT have goofy mixes with instruments and voices in the rear channels. I don't want to be in the middle of the band/orchestra; I want to be in the Hall/room/club with the appropriate ambient sound, as a member of the audience. (remember, that's SACD, not those horrible "compressed" DTS & DD recordings)
I was looking for a previous thread on this subject by doing a search, but there's way too many and I was going cross-eyed. If you know such a thread, point me at it please, or just leave your thoughts here.......Thanks.
