anyway do you really think 7.1 makes a difference over 5.1

There is a difference, but at that point it's definitely diminishing returns. I had the full 7.1 setup at my old place but after I moved I just stuck with 5.1 and never bothered to reconnect the other 2. It would probably make a more noticeable difference with super high end matching speakers across the board and well produced source material though.

Upon further reflection I have decided that the up and down dimension is missing so you need four more speakers.

All the musicians I've met have poo poo speakers from Wal-Mart. But I know lots of people who don't play that can show me what Dark Side of the Moon sounds like in perfect clarity, in 8.1, after forty years of tinkering with it!

Lol at all the spearkers with the foam donut so you can see the "thump." poo poo dryrots in no time fast while paper speakers from the 50"s still work and sound better.
I got some lovely home entertainment set up in the living room, and in the office is a nice 150 watt stereo amp and sick, strong speaks that I've yet to really crank out on.

Subs really do need to move a lot of air to be effective, the cone moving a lot isn't just for show. But yeah, rubber surrounds are better than foam.

I used to have two 300w 10" kenwood subs behind my couch. Though when i want music I mostly just fart the sonic the hedgehog soundtrack, and other classic compositions, as well as american train noises in chronological order, starting in 1830.
