RE: wonder why these ideas never caught on?

I agree with you that HT #'s can be confusing. Did I say 11.2? Did not mean to. I did see an upscale receiver once that claimed to be 9.1 Forgot even the brand now...I will look into it. If you look back at posts you will see that I asked how many audio channels a DVD had? I had heard 6 and someone else agreed. I believe Blu-Ray discs are the same with the audio tracks. I really don't understand why 7.1 ever came out. One speaker in each corner of the room is good enough for me. But that thinking in only a 2 dimensional world. I suppose having 2 subwoofers might help. But where to place the second? The back of the room? The center of the room? The ceiling? The floor?
