should i go with 7.1 my living room where my tv is 12x12 half wall behind couch then dinning room vaulted ceilings throughout it is easier to buy a package of speakers and cheaper but i know they are lesser quality but i buy my stuff from direct buy and i have to order from a book and best buy does not carry any of the speaker packages to check them out that why i need help

Holy F'n run on sentence man. Most people do a 5.1 set up, 7.1 is a waste of time and money for most people. Being that direct buy is a membership factory direct thingy ma bobber place I haven't the slightest deal what they carry. We could better tailor our help if we knew a budget for speakers and receiver and your intentions with the system.

i want to spend aboot 500. jamo 550 sub is on display,with some other big speakers out of my range.yamaha,mb quart,infinity,psb,jbl,audioplex,boston acoustic are some of the brands
