For sure, the Maggie system I heard was definitely *not* their top line stuff. It may have also been designed for HT, but in this case it was an all SACD multi-channel demonstration at CES. I was able to arrange a private audition by arriving at the room an hour one morning before the doors were to officially open.
The demonstration, even though everybody was still learning about multi-channel, was good enough to give me a window as to the tremendous upside potential of SACD multi-channel. It was a small to medium sized system with what I recall was at a moderate price. I knew I could easily better it and I have. But that does not at all take away from the inherent quality of the system. It was a real trail blazer for me even though the demonstrators were really experimenting with rear speaker placement, levels, etc. I had never heard a multi-channel SACD system prior to that demonstration. The next one was more than two years later after I had purchased on all multi-channel components, except for the player when I auditioned the Meitner gear when I literally had to design and force a multi-channel demonstration out of the dealer myself. But the Maggie CES demo was the impetus for me to move forward along a two + year path of considerable time and investment to get a great sounding two channel/ audio only multi-channel system. It was *well* worth it.
