I recently went from an Integra 6.1 to a Pioneer 7.1 receiver in my smallish HT space. Regardless of the limited 7.1 media I'm enjoying the audio difference a great deal. I'm not sure what's going on technically but the 7.1 receiver seems to be matrixing 5.1 content into the side and rear channels. On screen dialogue is much more localized and the side and rear speakers create a much greater sense of surround. The sides and rears are not simply outputting the same signal. I'm guessing the room correction/calibration has had a roll in it but overall I'm very pleased with 7.1.
