Mercury Living Presence SACD's

Has anyone bought these yet? I got my first M.L.P. SACD remaster today. It's the Stravinsky's Firebird with Antal Dorati and the LSO. The sound is simply spectacular. It's reminiscent of 2 of my favorite Everest SACD reissues: Night in the Tropics and the Little Train of Caipira.
The soundstage is wide with nice ambient cues. You feel transported to the hall. Also the dynamic swings are huge.

Can't wait for the Respighi Ancient Airs and Dances!

I didn't mention anything about the performance because it's now accepted as a classic.

Has anyone found a retailer (web or otherwise) selling these for a good price?

Elusive Disc is selling the first 5 titles (6 discs) as a package for $100 (all right, $99.99), that's the only price I checked out.

Jayctoy: I just went to music direct and the "Mercury Living Presence" discs start at $17.99. I think you must be thinking of the "RCA Living Stereo" SACD's that were recently released and cost $11.99.
