I'm inclined to agree. The use of the surrounds in my 5.1 system is essential and I look forward to expanding to 7.1.I don't have room either--I'd be surprised if you had less room than I. There's no chance I can set up my system to sit equidistant from all the speakers. But I make it work and use the delay setting on my preamp to ensure there is no smearing between the front and rear channels.
You really do need surrounds to take advantage of the 5.1 mixes that are as much a part of modern cinema (and remastered versions of old films) as the video.
