2-channel vs 3-channel/5channel


I have been enjoying some B&W N802s for movie watching in 2 channel. A real pleasure. My question is, will I gain a lot of enjoyment by going through the complication/pain of setting up 3.1/5.1 or is 2 channel "enough" for movies.

So anyway, to answer your question, a good surround sound system not only gets you tremendous added dimension on movies, but SACD and DVD-A's cab be astounding.

As long as you don't mind effects that should be coming from the back or sides not coming, then your 2 channel system should be fine. If you want the immersive effect, then go for the full system.

This is the wrong forum to ask the question on anyway, as most would probably want to go back to mono given a choice.
