I went with 7.1 for ht years ago and have never felt the need for more.
Its pretty darn effective for movies which was the prime aim.
I occasionally play dvd-a or sacd on it when the wife is out and they do sound good.
However my main rig in my room is pure two channel and I have no desire to ever try and build one system that does both ht and music.
I know it can be done but as they are in two totally separate rooms in my house there is no need.
