What is the difference between a 7.1 home theater system and a 5.1 system? Is it worth the price difference?

You generally have to be really hardcore about your sound for it to matter. That numbering system is: X. Y Where X is the number of speakers and Y is the number of subwoofers.So a 5.1 system has 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer, while 7.1 is 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer.

The average person wouldn't even know where to PUT seven speakers, so you're probably just fine with a 5.1 system. Then again, this is coming from someone who's never really wanted more than two.

The first number is how many speakers you have around you. The decimal number (.1) indicates a sub-woofer. 5.1 - Center speaker, two front speakers, two rear speakers.7.1 adds two mid speakers located to your left and right.It is worth the price?

Depends on the price. I can only see it being incrementally better... but I'm not an audiophile...

The 7.1 has 8 speakers while the 5.1 has 6. You won't tell the difference, especially because almost all DVDs and Bluray only support 5.1.

Two more speakers. Seriously, you won't be able to tell any difference. Most recordings are in 5.1 anyway.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
