This morning, I turned on the Sirius channel 6080 -- Classical Symphony -- through my Dish satellite system. They played a CD reissue of an old '60s Beethoven concerto recording by George SZell and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. Strictly two mic stuff. My speakers dissapeared. Great wide, deep sound stage and reasonable imaging, given that this is a large orchestra. Q.E.D. -- modern multi-mic'ing sucks.

BTW, do you have any idea what the technical specs are for the Sirius feed through Dish? It sounds pretty good, although obviously compressed in dynamics.
