Is 2 channel dead?

I keep reading about SACD and DVD-A and I wonder about the modest 2 channel system I am trying to build. Am I wasting my time? Am I throwing away money on something that won't last past next year? If so, what the heck am I going to do with all these CDs? Will 2 channel and 5,6, and 7.1 exist together?

Do you really listen to 5, 6, 7.1 channels at once? What planet are you from? Do you have 2.5, 3, 3.5(.5) heads?

Last I heard, stereo employed a 2-channel to 1 head ratio, and was 1:1 on ears. Sounds sane to me - I think it'll be around for a little while.
