Thanks, I've been in so many Internet food fights over the years that I go out of my way now to keep things reasonable.
Which, however, isn't necessary here because I agree with you 100%. Two channel stereo can be very impressive, but there's no way it can transport you into the concert hall. At best, it's like peering through a window.
Also, as J. Gordon Holt used to point out, you can't get the tonal balance right on all material with two channel stereo. Flat response works well for small ensembles, but you need a 2-4 dB downward slope for orchestral material.
I seriously envy you your SACD collection! Multichannel is on my list, but I have so much to do just to reconstitute my two-channel setup that it's going to be a while before I can swing it. Maybe when I get my permanent speakers -- I've been using a pair of MMG's as temporary speakers since I can't fit my old Tympanis in my new room, and I'm thinking that I may end up using the MMG's for surrounds, if they fit.
