"Genuine" for me means, genuine I guess. And it's not that I don't like 5.1, the fact is I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can, because I'm having to bring my ranching up to date, yippee yi yo ky yay, which is why this esteemed remotester is poking around these forums. I think I could honestly say that I haven't been overwhelmed by the 5.1 productions I've heard, like I was the first time I heard a good audiophile system. I haven't had the luxury of engineering 5.1 in a optimum listening area either, which I hope to do shortly. And I am also curious about the height, both front and rear, does that mean that 7.1 is more kickass (kickassier?) than 5.1? Is that a valid consideration or is 7.1 redundant? Would you say the audiophile crowd supports surround since the market has had time to mature?
