Yes I did mean DD True HD/DTS MA/ PCM in 7.1 (not matrixed) I know there are a few out there but my PS3 can't decode the DTS MA so that takes out most of them.....but basically I was trying to decide if I should just spend more on a 5.1 system or "spread" the money out over a 7.1 system.....I think better speakers in a 5.1 will sound better than slightly inferior speakers in a 7.1, since I am on a budget
Spend more on a 5.1 system now, then add the two rear speakers later. You'll be happier in the long run that way. You can always put whatcha got laying around in the rear surrounds for now, then upgrade them down the road. Also, put the most $ toward the fronts.
Actually, you can do the same and put your money into nicer fronts and for now use whatcha got for the side surrounds. I took a few years to put my speakers together. And I'm really glad I did it that way. You end up with a better speaker system overall.
