I have bought about 30 SACDs. As indicated on my monitor, most of them have 3/2 channels or 2/2 channels, a a few just have 2 stereo channels, and a few have 3/2.1 channels.
I guess 3/2 means 2 front channels, a center channel and the surround cnhannels; 2/2 means 2 front channels and the surround channels; and the ".1" means the subwoofer channel. I put my ears close to the speakers and I think my guess is correct.
I tested the few with the ".1" channel and found that there is minimal signal sent into this channel.
The question is--if that is the case, is it necessary to use a subwoofer?
I only bought classical SACDs. Do you know if the pop or jazz SACDs are the same?
