5.1 vs 7.1

Hi all!

I was wondering if there is a huge difference between using a 5.1 or a 7.1 speaker system?

I am thinking of purchasing another 2 surround speakers to complete my 7.1 setup. If you don't think it makes any difference, than I will not buy 2 additional surround speakers for my speaker system.

Thanks for any advice!!!

AVR makers are producing 7.1 in anticpation of future Blu Ray Disc 7.1 production. So far, there are only about 25 BDs w/ 7.1 and about 10 HD-DVD (and there won't be anymore of those).

If BDs really catch on as a consumer preference over SDVD (so far, they have not), I believe eventually all BDs will be 7.1.
