I definitely have the room now that I am in my new house but do bot have the desire to put that many channels in my room. Being more of a 2 channel guy and having the theater as a secondary importance makes me put more of my efforts into 2 channel. I think with sound bars getting to be so popular now it seems to me that having to buy new equipment every time you turn around to decode the newest codecs out there is getting old to most people. Just my opinion.
