At this moment I am listening to the SACD version of "Dark Side of the Moon". I have listened to it twice in the last 24 hours. I have owned "Dark Side" in at least 4 different formats, and have listened to it literally thousands of times in the last 25 years, and I am now hearing things that I never heard before. What an achievement! The rest of the Pink Floyd catalogue begs for the same treatment! Wouldn't "Echoes" sound divine in 5.1?

I finally have my speakers positioned right for multi channel audio. At first, I was sending the rear channels to my surrounds (QS4's located about 4 feet above, 3 feet in front, and 8 feet to the side of my listening position). Now the rear channel signals are being sent to my rear speakers, a set of relatively ancient JBL Pro III's, located 1 foot behind, and six feet to the side of the listenting position at ear level.

What a difference! I am now firmly convinced that if one is going to play any multi channel audio, that the rear speakers of a 7.1 setup should be monopoles, set up close to ear level.

Right now my rears are on stands to the sides of my sofa, but I am going to get some M2's, and mount them with full metal brackets a couple of feet above the listening position (as a compromise to their function as rear surrounds for movies) 6-8 feet to the sides of, and slightly behind the listening position, aimed right at the listener.

The combination of M60 x 2, M2 x 2, VP100 and VTF-2 should make for awesome SACD and DVD-A listening!

for me, for the last two or three months, it has been Ray Montford's "Shed Your Skin" CD.

Dang! I listen to a lot of music genres, but the new Toby Keith CD is pretty fun. Sadly, I am limited to what is on my car radio (no CD in my work car) because my home is under a complete remodel and my stuff is all safely packed away.

The last week it has been "The Burly Brawl" from The Matrix Reloaded CD disc 2. I get goosebumps every time I play that on my M60's.

Will, since you did say "song", although I greatly prefer orchestral music I'll again mention the incredibly beautiful rendition of the Rachmaninoff Vocalise by Anna Moffo on RCA 7831. What I'm listening to at the moment is the stirring Smetana Ma Vlast(My Country) with Berglund and the Dresden State Orchestra on Seraphim 73736.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
