Maybe I should wait to build my HT when recievers and bd players can handle these new formats?

    I think I'm going to need a bigger room. I'm currently upgrading to 7.1, and considering taking advantage of my AVR's 9.1.

    I thought the 7.1 was a bit much. Guess not.

    Polk Center: CSi A6
    Polk Surrounds: FXi A6's
    Polk Rear Surround: RTi4
    Sub: HSU VTF-3 (MK1)
    AVR: Yamaha RX-A2010
    B&K Reference 200.7
    TV: Sharp LC-70LE847U
    Oppo BDP-103

    9.1 is only better if you have the room for it.

    I have 9.1 using DPL-IIz/Audyssey DSX, and I love it. As it seems that DTS derives their directional cues in much the same way that Dolby does, I imagine this track ought to work nicely with DPL-IIz Height. Guess I'll see when it comes out.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens Sable 120" CineWhite screen

    If you can count the number of audio cues you notice due to 9.1 or 11.1 or... on one hand (or one finger) in a movie, is it worth the investment?
    This is not a statement, it is an honest question. I just want to hear opinions on this.

    Can Hollywood studios put 9.1 tracks on older movies like Apocalypse Now and release them on bluray?
