Great. I haven't had the pleasure yet (PHAEDRA) but did (DSOTM) about 20 years ago when I had a copy of the SQ quad version on LP. At this point, the 5.1 in all certainty blows it away.
Had a discussion with a friend last night about Quadraphonic versus soundstage. I'm more than OK with QuadraDisc and it's oft-used separation, entirely different mixes and altogether extended versions of tracks but my friend had a point: if your system creates a strong soundstage with a sonic depth of field, it's achieving with two speakers what quadraphonic was trying to do in the mid-1970s with four.
End result: if it gets yer ya-ya's out and in, lights your mind fire, then...mission fucking accomplished!
