Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD?

I actually had a multi-channel (Sony DVP-N900V) and traded it in for a stereo one (Sony DVP-S9000ES). While I can't claim that I listen to SACD much (software limitations), there was something about the multi-channel sound that seemed strange to me. I don't really know how to explain it, but stereo just seems more relaxed and 'normal' to me. Maybe it is as some say, that when you attend a concert, the performers are in front of you, not all around you. I really have no further intentions for any multi-channel music listening.

BTW, vinyl is still my preffered source.

I agree with jmcgrogan two ears two speakers. I have a Marantz DV8400 and it is OK with the multichannel stuff. But I feel 5 speakers playing all at once is a fun listening session. When I want to do serious listening it is always stereo. I want to find a good SACD/CD player but haven't found one yet that does redbook at a level I like.

I like both.Most surround has ambient info in rear anyway so 2 channel only is fine.I think with surround less is more.Dark Side of the Moon is Fun in Surround for showing off system.My main SACD/CD player is 2 channel.JD

I have a multichannel Marantz8260, but I have a 2 speaker stereo set-up and have no intentions of buying additional speakers. All my new software I'm trying to buy in SACD format, and only if it's not available in SACD I'd buy a redboook CD.
Just my 2c.

Thanks Everyone !!!!!!!!!
I want to clarify my original post... I am leaning toward the Marantz SA-14 not the Sa-12. That said, I find it interesting that no one so far who has a 2 channel only unit has traded it for a multi. I am all ears if anyoneone has more thoughts.
Again My Thanks!!!
