7.1 surround sound, why bother with anything else?

If you're taking the plunge, and deciding to get yourself a surround sound system; then 7.1 surround sound is the only way to go. With output for up to 7 powered speakers plus a powered subwoofer why would you want to bother with anything else? The greatest thing about 7.1 surround sound is that it places speakers both on the sides and behind the listener, which creates an incredible immersive sound experience. Talk about placing yourself in the middle of the action! It's difficult to compare anything to the listening experience of 7.1 surround sound system. However without the right components to supplement your 7.1 surround sound, you may be throwing your money away.

Since it's the speakers that are the final output of the sound that is created and we hear, regardless of how much cash you drop on your receiver, sound card, etc. combined with the poor quality of some cheap speakers the whole 7.1 surround sound system is a wash. The bottom line is this; your system is only as good as your speakers - So no matter what you do, don't skimp on that part. The rational for getting such a system stems from your realization that sound is such an important influence on so many mediums, music, home theater, and gaming. So for most of us it is something that cannot be compromised. Doing so will drastically effect the experience, and hinder your enjoyment.

3-D Ready or Not, Here They Come
We’ve all heard of cable ready televisions and HD ready flat-panels but get ready to be assaulted err marketed with the term “3-D ready”.

Over 70 Million Connected Homes by 2012
I still get a kick out of responding “the internet” when asked what’s the next big thing in home theater?

XStreamHD - Digital Content Delivery with a Twist
This is one of those posts that got shoved off to the back burner and eventually fell off the stove altogether, I’m ashamed but it’s still not too late to finish dinner. This one goes all the way back to CES (yeah I know January was only three months ago) and a little announcement that flew [...]

Battlestar Galactica Season Four – Is it Ten Yet?
I’m not sure about you but as far as I’m concerned the biggest home theater related story of the day, has to be tonight’s premiere of season four of Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi HD at 10pm Eastern. I have to admit I was late to the Battlestar Galactica party (just like Firefly…) but I couldn’t [...]

Mitsubishi Dates Launch for Laser TV
This May will mark the month a new consumer display technology hits the market and along with it a slew of “frickin’ laser” jokes.

Netflix: Pass the Grey Poupon, er Blu-ray
Well, this one kind of caught me off guard, apparently Netflix CEO Reed Hastings in a conference call said that since Blu-ray discs are more expensive to purchase versus standard definition DVD’s, the company will start charging more for accounts that rent Blu-ray discs. Netflix did at one time offer both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs [...]
