"…who wants 5.1 after you've experienced 7.1? "

Well, I still tend to run a lot of native 5.1 stuff in 5.1 though my system is 6.1.

I vacillate between using the extra channel all the time and using it only for 6.1 soundtracks (don't have a hi def source so no native 7.1 tracks available to me). I tend not to notice any downsides to listening to 5.1 soundtracks in 6.1 but I don't think the gain is as much as with a native 6.1 track, and I sometimes decide to go purist and listen to the soundtrack in however many channels it was actually mastered in. I'm currently in a purist mood but last week I wasn't.

So I'll plead guilty some of the time. :-)
