I was just listening to (Alison Kraus,Natale Cole,Pink Floyd) in sacd surround this morning and thinking how much better it sounded than two channel when I saw your post. Are you sure you want to go back to two channel? it looks to me like you need a good center channel to match your maggies and a good multichannel sacd player. I listen to a lot of two channel myself but not buy choice, this is going to be a very big year for multichannel sacd's. I have a sunfire theatergrand also and a sony xa777 multichannel player. I would give this some more thought, or at least wait a while but if you must, good luck and good listening as we all need what sounds best to each of us.
Returning to 2 channel only. Suggestions?
I have played with the HT thing for about a year now, and it’s time to come back to my roots of 2-channel audio. Looking to divest myself of my Sunfire Theater Grand II processor and Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature Amp, and return to an appropriate amp and CD/SACD front end for the part of my system that will remain:
VPI Scout/JMW/Dynavector 20X
ARC SP9 MKII
Magnepan MGIIIA
I am not married to either tubes or SS at this point – looking for some suggestions and synergy.
My musical tastes are varied. The only things I don’t listen to are “big hat” country music and “christian” music. I do like Texas Swing (ala Bob Wills, Asleep At The Wheel) however.
In order to appease my spouse, monies will have to come from the sale of the Sunfire components, give or take a grand.
Thanks for your help folks!
