In Reply to: RE: 7.1/6.1 vs 5.1 and movies. posted by David Aiken on September 18, 2007 at 17:42:12
or simply apply the 5.1 surround info to the additional surrounds. How hard will it be for the next generation of processors to make 7.1 "happen" out of 5.1 24/192 movie soundtracks ?
I wouldn't expect a whole lot of source material to provide "native" 7.1 outputs.
Follow Ups:
I also know there are processors which make 7.1 out of 5.1—my Denon 2897 receiver does it. Newer receivers/processors do it but older ones don't. I don't know whether the original poster's Aragon Stage One does it which is why I said what I said.
In my view:
- 7.1 or 6.1 native material sounds better that way than downmixed to 5.1 though it is a small improvement rather than an earth shattering one. I suppose one should expect that given how much and what info is in the extra channels;
- synthesising 7.1 (6.1 in my case) from 5.1 makes a difference but I wonder at times whether it's worth it;
- either of the above is going to be definitely superior to doubling the speakers on the side surround channels and running 5.1 with 2 left and 2 right surround speakers playing the same surround info from a 5.1 mix.

which means I'd need a new pre/pro with the right audio "processing prowess". Plus two new speakers, two more channels of amplification, etc....
A rear center would also be good but I'm not sure any of the current(/future?) processor modes will support both "side fills" and a "rear center".
