I appreciate the advice I received about my two Mahler SACDs, and I am hoping that there are a few Shostakovich fans here. I have two multichannel Symphony No. 5 SACDs, and one is open (the Rostropovich). The surround sound presentation is OK, but I would likely listen to it more on my 2-channel system because I have a true SACD player rather than the OPPO in my home theatre system.
The other (the Kreizberg) is sealed, and it also contains Symphony No 9. I am not very familiar with 'PentaTone Classics', so I am hoping that someone can tell me if this one is more immersive than the other. I could open it, but it is easier to sell if it is still sealed. Based on the stickers it is highly-rated, but that doesn't often mean that much. What do you guys think? This is the end of the questions, I promise. My sell pile is almost complete.
