there may be a great thread already addressing this question, but i could not find it. i currently have an onkyo system with a zone 2 set up in an adjacent room that is using the two middle speakers of an otherwise 7.1 system. i am moving to a townhome that will not be able to utilize the zone 2 function. for this reason i am preparing to use all 7 speakers for a 7.1 system.
the problem with this is that the room is an awkward shape and i don't know exactly how to set it up. so before i even go there i'm asking the easy question of whether or not i should even bother with the 7.1, or if the 5.1 is going to be ample for me 90% of the time? thanks.
