Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Is 7.1 really worth it?

I echo the same sentiments. I had my HT wired for 7.1, then I moved the system to another room and did not bother putting back the rears. I have the speakers and 7 channel of amplification, but I really did not notice any appeciable sound improvement in a 7.1 config, so I decided that I was going to install the system in 5.1 "for now" and get to the other 2 speakers "later" .. well it's been 6 months and I have yet to put them up.. don't think it's going to happen anytime soon either.

Cheers,
Stephane
