I may just be jaded, but I think the warning is a sales pitch, to warn (promote) to audiophiles the "awesome bandwidth" of the SACD. I suspect that the material on the recording will not be any burden to the equipment at all. Real music cannot delve into the bandwidth extremes of 2 HZ or 100 KH, no matter what the technology is. I say trip the switch, play at low volume to assure there is not some RF or oscillating problems, and go for the test drive. I would be surprised if equipment in the class you are describing (any of the three!) run any risk at all from too much bandwidth from this piece or the music recorded within.
Is 2hz/100khz better sound than 20/20?
Have SACD player with freq resp of 2hz-100hz (well outside human hearing,isn't it?) and the manual warns not to use (flip switch on rear of SACD)with commonplace 20hz/20khz amps like mine or bad things will happen. Do my Krell or Citation or Bryston amps really stand a chance of harm if I unleash the SACD? Will it sound differently or better? Is it just marketing? Please help,not tring to start a cable or dbt diatribe. "Just listen" advise won't be of tremendous help either. Thanks.
