I have yet to run an original 7.1 production that's also available in 5.1 and compare. On the other hand everything produced in 5.1 and matrixed through my 7.1 system sounds, from memory, more enjoyable to me and well worth going 7.1 in any size room.

As far as the two sub question the addition of a second sub in my room was a decisive improvement. I would suggest reading the Larry Greenhill reviews in Stereophile of the JL Audio and Velodyne subs. In those reviews you'll notice the favorable review of the JL products only after they were used in conjunction with a Bryston active crossover for it's high pass filtering, which may not be needed with typical HT receivers bass management, and the spectrum analyzer found in Velodyne's DD sub. It should be noted that while Greenhill has reviewed two dual JL Audio systems he still uses a single Velodyne DD18 for reasons not mentioned.
