THX recommend two centre rears set at an angle, rather than a single rear speaker, to combat this odd psycho-acoustic effect. But it's still the same centre signal split into two. And Dolby obviously don't have the same hang-ups as THX, as they're certifying single-rear channel amps left, right, and err...centre.I believe the 6.1/7.1 one is a marketing scam by equipment manufacturers to get us to keep spending $$$ on equipment.
Even DD-EX and DTS-ES are rarely used theatrically and how many DVD's have been released in DTS-ES or DD-EX since these formats have been introduced?, maybe 150 combined. I can't understand how we can spend thousands upgrading equipment for a format that's barely supported.
