Moving up from 5.1 to 7.1

[Aldo WIngate]

Maybe lost in cyberspace? Aldo, this is a forum wher we come together and exchange information on HT and maybe other off topics but everyone generally conducts themselves fairly well.
I have been a member of the forum for at least 5 years now and have known how trolls have been dealt with on this board. Asking "who's your daddy" is not exactly contributing to anything here. You must have a good ability to talk about gear and give opinions and if you can refrain yourself from making yourself someone's daddy then that would be tasteless.
Just come clean and start over again and you should be OK.

The topic went off couse because some guy didn't like my 7.1 surround rationale/explanation. While I may have gone astray, it is due to being led astray. I see nothing wrong with pointing out things - even if off course. Are you going to stand there and tell me once a topic and thread begins it NEVER WAVERS FROM TOPIC?
I haven't attacked anyone.


Bottom line is that 7.1 is a complete waste of money when compared to 5.1; a scam by the industry to ultimately steal from you. I guess the proverb should read "blindness is bliss".

Aldo, I agree with your above statement. 6.1/7.1 is very space sensitive and will add nothing spectacular to your listening enjoyment if you cannot place the speakers behind you and not above you. Many here are gullible to switch to 6.1/7.1 and buy more speakers and upgrade receivers.
