Where's the 7.1 master audio?

[Davekyn]

The primary reason 7.1 is used, is for LARGER listening areas & that is it! Marketing is going to benifit with the sale of extra speakers & cabeling so it's in thier best interest to make out as if your going to get some new listening exsperiance out of it, or in fact that you need it....HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA....iT'S ALL A CROCK OF &^%$.

In fact...you can actually do more damage than good by using 7.1 in a room that does not need it. MOST homes do not need 7.1. I would even go as far to say, that most serious Home Theater enthusiasts with a newer 7.1 amp use a 5.1 speaker setup unless in a room large enough for it.

I believe it will be some time, before its practical to change the current 3/2/1 recordings...try studdying more un "Surround Sound 101" and you will understand just how useless 7.1 is in the average home & how it's really only hype for the avaerage Joe.

It's a bit like people saying 1080i PQ sucks....hehe...They miss the point completely
