With multichannel, you capture *exactly* what the engineers got down on
tape, which is a reasonable facsimile of sitting in a seat in the hall.
What's your beef?

Its useless for my stereo library

That's likie saying that CDs are useless for your turntable.

Sure, but not only my turntable also my preferred pre-amp, amp and speakers,
and "last but not least" my listening room!

and most often puts me in a seat that I
wouldn't have chosen.

At least, it's a real seat on the better recordings. Besides, those
RCA Living Stereo and Mercury Living Presence SACDs have the original
3channels!

Besides I've seen it written (on usenet) that 3 track MLP multi level
players will appear in the fall, along with such recordings (?) presumably
designed to play such recordings, so SACDs are not going to serve that
purpose at all.
