That's a very bold statement...

"More specifically, 1 superior line conditioner that properly treates the noisy AC coming in from the street, will make your classical music sound more natural and closer to the absolute sound than any surround sound config could ever do."

And you know this because you've actually had a high quality surround sound system in the same space and your line-conditioned 2-cheannel system sounds better?

My experience is pretty much the opposite, and comports with Jim's experience. My 5.1 system sounds worlds better than any 2 channel system I've ever had. And the improvement was not the least bit subtle.

I think it's okay for you to say that you prefer your current 2 channel system to a previous surround sound system you had in the same space. But to make a blanket statement that a line-conditioned 2-channel system "will make your classical music sound more natural and closer to the absolute sound than any surround sound config could ever do." is more than a bit misleading and disingenuous...
