I'd certainly give 6.1 a go. Honestly, I didn't think going from 5.1 to 7.1 was that big a thrill (my room, my couch, etc.).

That being said, I'd wire for either 6.1 or 7.1 and plan to get an extra pair of QS8's when you get back from Italy.

And I'd definitely go to Italy before tweaking the car or buying new furniture. Not that you asked.

Wayne, it's really nice to see your posts and hear about your new adventures.
