5.1 vs 7.1


Hi all!

I was wondering if there is a huge difference between using a 5.1 or a 7.1 speaker system?

I am thinking of purchasing another 2 surround speakers to complete my 7.1 setup. If you don't think it makes any difference, than I will not buy 2 additional surround speakers for my speaker system.

Thanks for any advice!!!

Very good information from all. I am trying to figure out why than electronic businesses would make a 7.1 receivers or processors and 7.1 multi-channel amps if there are no DVDs made for a 7.1 configuration.

You ever notice when you sit in a movie theater and don't really hear all the surround speakers working in 7.1 configuration. The transition on the surround speakers just move very smoothly at all. I just hear sound coming out but it does not match what I seeing on the big screen. I just hear mainly on the front of the stage.
