So 4 more speakers overhead ? I could do this easily. What I wonder, is it even worth the effort ? One title in 30 or so is 7.1 right now. Does anyone really think there will be a lot of titles with 11.1 surround ? Is it worth the effort ? Curious as to what you guys think.

My only comment/concern with many of these high number speaker encoding standards is that people's budgets are fixed so too many people simply want more speakers instead of better speakers. I'd rather have 5 good speakers + sub than 11 so-so speakers.

First reports are just starting to come in. I think a lot more will be known after Cedia.

11.1 audio count me in if the media formats will support it
I can always find more of the vintage infinity speakers somehow Smile
