bad99: good to hear. next up are: speaker placement and calibration. maybe some of the smart guys who post here (and there are quite a few, fortunately) can chime in and help out.
i didn't think much of it at first, but i did get an spl meter and calibrate my system. i also played with speaker placement and found slight tweaks made big improvement in the soundstage.
also, unfortunately, sacd mixes are very erratic. some really bad, some good and some superb. let me know if you find a disc you think is exceptional, if you find time.
