which cowboy junkies cd?

Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
I agree with Jeffery. I have a NAD surround receiver driving two Image speakers in front with Bose 100s for surrounds. No sub right now, it blew. The NAD has two quality sound modes that distribute any signal to all speakers.I don't know why, but ...
