    7.1 seating?

    My couch is against the back wall where the surround back speakers would be. Is it worth it to get 7.1 if the speakers would be right behind me or a little above. They would probably be about 4 ft. above people heads when they are sitting. Steve

    This has probably been beaten to death here but...

    I had cheap walmart speaker wire that was I think 14 gauge I bought 10 gauge sound king wire, probably overkill but I think that my speakers now sound cleaner and hit a little harder. I think it was worth it to upgrade and now I'm not always thinking should I change speaker wire.
