Not much width to benefit from 7.1 but I definitely like my 6.1 compared to 5.1. 3QS8's all around the back and you are IN the action.

Bayne, nice mounting on those side surrounds. The 5.1/7.1 question(if you go with back surround you might as well use two, for a stereo effect with DPLIIx or Logic 7)depends more on how much space you have behind your sitting position for a back surround effect to develop, rather than simply room size. According to your numbers you'd have about 4 1/2', which should be enough to make it worthwhile. Separate them enough so that the usual listening positions get both a left and right rear effect.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

The rears would be about 4.5 feet behind the listening position, but in a 7.1 set-up, they would only be about 4 feet apart. I'm starting to believe that 6.1 might be the way to go for my room.
