Re: Worth Going to 7.1 from 5.1?

I find that there is a lot of confusion (not on this board) about 6.1 and 7.1. There is really only one extra channel and it is a mono channel derived from the original rears in a method very simliar to the old Dolby pro-logic. Like pro-logic, the one channel can come through one speaker or two. There are precious few films in 6.1/7.1 and those that are make little use of the rear center channel. I think the money can be better spent elsewwhere, perhaps on classic films software.
