What is 6.1?

216.40.130.219

I had one salesman tell me that 5 speakers and a sub will work with a 6.1 processor because all it means is that the rear speakers are discrete channels as opposed to sharing one channel as in 5.1.

Another salesman told me I would need to buy 6 speakers and a sub because 6.1 adds a "center rear channel".

Who's right?

I have my sights on a 6.1 processor but have been checking out 5.1 speaker systems with 5 speakers and a sub. Should I be checking out 6 speakers and a sub?
