Sacd?

Hi I have a 7.1 set-up with a pair of old SDA2c's as the fronts a csp 1000 as the center a pair of FX1000's at the sides and a pair of 10b's at the rear. This is a great set-up for Home Theater and surround music. My question is I'm thinking about getting a SACD player (the high end sony 777es? I think that's the model number) and am wondering if my speaker set up is going to be able to resolve the best of this high resolution format or do I need new speakers? My preamp is a Lexicon MC-1 (will be a MC12 if I get the SACD player) and sunfire grand signature amps. Thanks for any feedback, Mel

Telarc has some rather detailed info on SACD and loudspeaker setup here:

I would be interested in learning the technical aspects of their SACD's. Do they use multiple mics, corresponding to each discrete channelor are the surround channels digitally created, or what...?
At last count, I had 51 Telarc CDsand a few on vinyl, though they're "stored-away".

You have a very nice speaker setup.
With that said.... I would have to say...NO. Your old Polk's probably aren't going to resolve SACD properly.
You will hear some improvement. But, it won't be anything as detailed as the source material.
Old Polk's aren't known for being detailed. Wish it were true - it just isn't. I am in a similar dilemma and will probably upgrade away from Polk someday as a result. The LSi series may be able to accomodate the DVD-A/SACD format better. Though, I doubt even these speakers will resolve the sound completely.
