SACD surround system

I'm using the following:
Sherbourne 7010/A pre/pro
HK Signature 2.1 Amp
Denon 2200
Velodyne ULD 15 II
Soliloquy Sat-5's all around-if I had room for full range speakers all around, I'd never leave the room.

The sound is quite amazing, clean, open, very rich and detailed. I just wish I could afford more SACD's. This set-up actually holds its own against my 2 channel SET system (except when using vinyl).

I did...Sony XA-777es player, Sunfire theatergrand, Krell amps, Apogee speakers....25'x 22'x 9' room.

Sound was outstanding...not enough SACD's out at the time though...I jumped to early, (around 3 years ago).

I do still have an SACD/DVD Audio surround system...not as good as the one I had though....Pioneer/Sunfire/Onkyo/VMPS

With the right disc (well mastered) any surround system, including SACD gives good results. And even less-than-audiophile systems can do surround well. The spatial effects are quite separate from audio quality.

See "system". Sometimes I like the remix, sometimes not. The extra resolution is sometimes astounding.

I have two such systems and multichannel SACD is, by far, my preferred music medium. One system is much more expensive and elaborate than the other but both give me great satisfaction in terms of resolution and soundstaging, especially with those that capture the ambience of the recording site.

I would right much more but I already have: www.stereophile.com/musicintheround
