RE: 5.1 or 7.1?

I've got a 5.1 set up in a 15 foot square room but am about to redecorate and install a 7.1 system, because in my view there will be more and more soundtracks utilizing 7.1 as high-def takes off, and een if you don't get into high-def I'm sure most new movies will be filmed in high-def with better sound, and the higher bitrate soundtracks will mean more 7.1 encoding on standard DVDs.

Even though the extra channel in a 7.1 set up is usually only the same signal as in a 6.1, I've read that the extra speaker does improve the seamlessness of the 'soundstage' especially for anyone who isn't sat in the optimum seat.

The link below is excellent and even has pictures!


Best Regards,
