With due respect to the other posters here, my sympathies are with the OP.
It is nonsense that a multichannel system cannot be high end. I have two Multichannel systems in my home as well as a two channel. The Universal Players are Oppo 203 and Pioneer LX 500, respectively. A well recorded SACD, Blu Ray, or DVD-A can derive benefits from Multichannel. Exhibit A is the Pentatone Brahms Symphony cycle with Marek Janowski and the Pittsburgh Symphony. The extra channels are used to supply ambience, reflections, and such, and elevate a really good two channel recording to a superb and realistic concert experience.
Regrettably neither of those machines are available new. Sony is still making Universal Players and the aforementioned Reavon is there as well
