stupid sacd question


I just purchased a philips 963sa sacd/dvd player and now want to buy some sacds. I've got a two-channel system. Should I only buy two-channel sacds? I know the player can downmix multi-channel into two-chennel, but does this come at some sonic cost? Thanks.

Funny, I heard Dark Side of the Moon ("Money") at the C.E.S. I think that it was the Wilson room???? Anyway, it was REAL high quality multi-channel SACD room, and I found the presentation sort of disconcerting. Maybe I'm just an old fart, but DSOTM was permanently etched into my halcyon consciousness as a 2 channel mix in the '70's. As has been commented upon in this thread, finances and spatial considerations make SACD multichannel much less prevalent in the home than SACD stereo, one would think.
