In Reply to: 6.1 or 7.1, is it worth doing more than 5.1? posted by kvk on December 12, 2007 at 08:43:51:
A 6.1 speaker setup (not to be confused with a 6.1 soundtrack) leads to front-back reversal problems. Sounds that come from the single rear channel may sometimes appear to come from the front.
To avoid this problem, a 7.1 speaker setup uses two back speakers to provide enough separation for the brain to process that channel's sound(s) as actually coming from the rear of the room. A 5.1 speaker setup obviously doesn't have this problem because it doesn't have the speaker to begin with.
