In Reply to: Will 5.1 be obsolete in a few years? posted by Jim P. on October 11, 2000 at 07:43:05:
but this doesn't mean that you can't fully enjoy your system as is. This is why everyone is stressing backwards compatibility with the various new formats (DDex, DTS EX, etc.EX). The nice thing is that you can always add an external processor to pick up much of these effects if you wish (I have a Krell HTS and I added the ADA add-on unit for the EX effects along with an extra pair of speakers (for the back channel) and an amp. It was not a big deal to do it, and I enjoy the addition of the additional speakers for all listening (EX or not). However, EX doesn't render the system obsolete just as you can still enjoy dolby surround on a 5.1 system. Check out the recent issue of Widescreen Review for a further discussion of these various formats. My understanding is that the only potential problem will be some of the emerging formats surrounding (no pun intended) DTS.
