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.
Follow Ups:
I looked on the Dolby website and it seems to suggest that a 6.1 setup would have a matrixed rear center channel but that a 7.1 would have dicreet right side and left side channels. Maybe someone more in the know than I am can answer your question definitively.
That makes sense. Thanks.
