Jason, I think that what Mike(dmn)was asking was whether those are two -channel SACDs or multi-channel SACDs. Many SACDs are two-channel only, but both these happen to have a 5.0 track as well as a 2.0 track(both in SACD). On classical music where the performers aren't actually placed in the surround channels(only reflected ambience goes there)it typically makes little difference, i.e. when the multi-channel track is compared to the two-channel track played with DPLII or Logic7 steering the ambience to the surround channels. Try the comparison yourself.

Since you enjoyed Fischer's performances of the Dvorak 8th and 9th, you should really like this and here's a really outstanding SACD bargain.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
