fellas please read the question nicely and reply. i not asking good or not good. im asking do you have 7.1 speakers set up now or plan to in the future? or continue with 5.1 even if you have a 7.1 AVR
its a simple yes or no answer. no need give me grandmother stories about software availability, room size, rims w/o tires analogy, got difference or no difference,  etc

thank you

Bro, why hate those setup ... just bring them home ... I did that previously
