The Carver R-150 receiver has a midrange control. I'm sure there are other manufacturers who included such a control -- you just have to look because it's not as common as bass & treble.

A DVD can have more than 5.1 channels. For years there were discs made with DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 soundtracks (these were true 7-channel discs), as well as almost 7 channel soundtracks by using DTS-ES Matrix and Dolby Digital EX encoding.

Is DVD the last movie format? Me thinks not, therefore > 5.1 receivers.
