Question for those (such as you) in the know.

Isn't 7.1 exactly the same as 6.1 but with two channels? In other words, the two rear channels are mono? If so, is there really a difference between a 6.1 or 7.1 pre/pro (not so much a receiver as you'd have to use one amp section for two speakers)? One could just run a splitter off the mono channel on a 6.1 and get the same result, no? You may have to run it a tad higher to make up for possible voltage loss, but I can't imagine this would be worth worrying about.
