Well when MC first came out in 5.1 DD I tried it for a while in my Home theater but it was not that great to me. Then I got MC SACD in my HT and it was a different story altogether. It was pretty good. But now its pure two channel for me in my two channel room...red book or 2 channel SACD. With good gear and cables its possible to get the depth and width you need from a good recording as if its on a stage. It wont surround you as MC SACD but to me a good two channel just can't be beat.
