Blues "must have, top 100" list?

How Long Did it Take to Burn In a new piece?
The longest time something of mine took to burn in was when I switched my system to active.... those Linn active cards and switching out the crossovers for the active plates seemed to take 200+ hours to settle in. 
6.1 addon?
Actually, I beleive parasound made a decoder for this exact situation. You connected it like Nerspellsner said, but it would give you the actual 6.1 output for the rear center
