Don't spend too much, it appears to be a semi-submerged format already.

Hello All,

I'm glad that I'm not imagining stereo bass. What I have that's
really impressive is on CD and SACD. Vinyl isn't the greatest for
subterranean bass. And consumer R2R tape seems inferior to vinyl in
that regard. Doesn't tape roll off pretty fast below 30 Hz?

I'd like some advice on the purchase of a SACD player. I've been
reading some glowing reports on that kind of new media sound and wonder
if it's worth the price (?) whatever that might be? Are we talking
about an expensive investment and does that include a new
amplifier/speaker array (mine is currently five, three in front and two
surround)? Currently, I love the wide range sound I get with my two 12"
woofers, mid-range and tweeter transducers and a separate central
channel and the two (side) rear speakers switchably controlled by Dolby
Pro Logic (in or out). I'm guessing I'll have to come up with a whole
new discrete five to seven channel system (plus speakers) to be able to
use the full capability of SACD.
Thanks for all of the knowledgeable comments that I know will be
forthcoming.
