I never said it was new, my question is in regard to this becoming the next 'must have'.
First, 5.1, then 6.1, then 7.1, with 7.2, etc.
Now wide, surrounds, and more upfront AND the key, a/v receivers that support all this.

So what was a concept years ago, is now being supported much more broadly. This link was just a version that puts everything around the tv in a convenient package as opposed to some on these forums who already have the tv area surrounded by speakers (say like Ian in a 10.2 configuration).

3D was not a new concept either, goes back decades actually, but is it now the new must have (and might stay around) concept?
3D came and went a few times over the years but looks alot more mainstream now than it ever did.

So, is this wall of sound the new bar for HT?
When will this expand to every wall (L, R and rear?)
