OK, you make some good points. I agree, without question, that improperly executed multi-channel can muck up the sound more (I admit it) than improperly executed two channel. And if you had originally said that ***surround CAN obscure tonal deficiencies*** as opposed what you did say ***that surround TENDS TO obscure tonal deficiencies*** I would not have responded as defensively err offensively :). “CAN” is absolutely true. “TENDS TO” is absolutely false.

I hear you loud and clear on the organ pieces that you made reference to. There are a couple of multi-channel SACD organ pieces (Poulenc’s Organ Concerto on Linn and an E. Power Biggs Bach for 4 organs on Sony) that may be best heard in two channel. The best execution of two organs that I have experienced is the Widor Mass op 36. See link below.

Otherwise, what you experienced at a live concert ****The sound was coming from four directions, and everyone was turning their heads to try to maintain orientation****, should *never* happen on a properly executed multi-channel SACD.

But back to the original topic, the Fischer Tchaikovsky in multi-channel, I can assure you, sonically betters or equals the two channel in every way, including tonal accuracy.
