I agree with Aroc,for the money two channels are a better buy.However the sound of a true high end system is superior to two channels.I primarily listen to classical and some jazz.Red book cds processed by a Meridian 861 V3 ,into multichannel does wonders and driving high end speakers.
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?
