Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference?

Are there differences in media and players? Or are all SACDs both multi and 2 channel capable? How about SACD players that are only 2 channel SACD players? How do they handle multi-channel SACD? Do they get bounced down to redbook standards?

Matchstickman,
I find the SACD--I listen in 2-channel only--format to be a sonic improvement over redbook. I know you're deciding on the next source upgrade, so an audition could be in order. If you haven't left Sacramento yet, you're welcome to come by for a comparison.

Matchstikman,
Definitely give me a call/write me directly. You're welcome to come by for a listen. If it works for you, wait until the 12th or later, as we'll have our 'new' speakers by then. If you need to come sooner, next Wednesday/Thursday would work.
We have an APL Hi Fi modded Denon 3910, which we will be picking up on Tuesday after having a few upgrades done.
Hope to see you soon,
Howard
