Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Is 7.1 worth it?

I have read a few posts in here and people tend to think the 7.1 is not worth it for movies.

I wonder if someone can explain the way a DTS-ES (discrete 6.1) signal would work through a 7.1 set-up. Would the back centre info go to both of the rear channel speakers? Same with Dolby Digital EX. I know that DTS discrete and DD EX are not very common, but are there people who have had a positive experience with 7.1?

Also, another reason I am considering it is for 7.1 stereo for music. I have found that since I received my Axiom set-up a little over a month ago, I listen to a lot more music than I use to.

My current set up consists of M60's, VP150, QS8's, and an SVS 20-39PCi. I was considering getting M22's for rear surrounds. I am using an HK630.

Thanks for the input!

cheers,
