New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: Looking for inmate opinions about multichannel

IMO it is total nonsense to have same volume from rear speakers as from the front. It is best to start off with equal volume from all speakers and then adjust rear speakers to suit your listening environment. Furthermore if using floorstanding speakers it is not very practical and unnecessary to have 5 speakers the same size.
My rear speakers and centre speaker are much smaller than front ones. rear speakers are at half volume level of the front ones. MCH SACD set up as I have described is excellent provided of course the recordings are first class. Economically buy a good mid price AVR that has a pre-out which can be connected to your stereo amp for front L & R speakers the receiver takes care of remaining speakers.
