sanjay did a good job of explicitly saying why 6.1 sucks and 7.1 is preferred, and i agree with what he said. hopefully the different approaches shed some more light, err i mean sound on the subject.

like i stated, 7.1 is typically better with the 6th and 7th channels being direct radiating bookshelfs (or towers if you are up to it) and the sides (5th and 4th channels) being multipolar.
