Re: 6.1 or 5.1....

I have avoided a 7.1 setup as I use Magnepans and my room would end up looking like Stonehenge. But I do use a phantom center and my pre/pro can convert 5.1 into 6.1 (both Dolby Digital and DTS) using a phantom rear center as well (i.e., four speakers and six channels (plus sub)). In A/B-ing the 5 versus the 6 I found that the 6 has more "fill" and a greater sense of surround.
