New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I did and never looked back, although. . .

. . . much of my listening is still two-channel, just because the source material is two-channel. And, really, I don't mind two-channel at all. But, all in all, I think that moving to multi-channel is one of the most noticeable improvements one could make to a system. Listening in multi-channel makes music into a bigger, more emotional (and, perhaps paradoxically, more subtle) experience for me, especially in the way that it seems to liberate the music from the speakers compared to two-channel. (FWIW, your mileage may vary, and all that.)

BTW, unlike Kal, I've found some of the synthesized surround modes fun and enjoyable, and there are some that leave the original two-channel signals intact even as they generate the center and rear channels.
