is 7.1 worth it? (1 Viewer)

[Jacob C]

Depending on what I eventually go with the extra surround speakers are going to cost $300-$600. I was wondering if those who have heard 7.1 think it is worth it. I am sure that it is better but is it that much better?

I'm going to bump that thread to the top of the Receivers forum. Anyone who'd like to add some recent thoughts, please do so.
