I'd say yes, but to be honest it depends what kind of movies you enjoy

If you're mainly interested in older or foreign films, you can get away with a 2.1 HT, but if you intend to watch modern action or war films like Saving Private Ryan and such, the immersive nature of surround sound necessitates a 5.1 system. For Blu-ray, you should consider a 7.1, daunting as it may seem.

Where is one expected to put all those interconnects in a 7.1 system?

  ...The first answer that comes to mind is not one you will like :o)
  
  IMHO if you really want a 7.1 system then interconnects are the least of your worries. If you don�t want a 7.1 system then who cares what other people do with their interconnects?

    All those interconnects? I thought HDMI was going bring us infinite happiness through just one cable! :-)
    
    I already have the ProAcs for center and rears, so it should be an easy decision. If I just had enough room for 2 systems, it would be a no brainer... I could have my Calypso and BAT drive my full range ProAcs in my simple 2-channel system and then stick with my ProAc monitors and Anthem setup for HT.
