7 ch Preamp question

You must have been out of town a while?? ___7.1 has been written about for a couple of years. Virtually any new piece has 7.1/,and all for a good reason. It is just more involving.___ Now, yes you need the room for the extra speakers___and yes, these processors/ receivers "matrix" the 7.1 from a 5.1 source. It just depends on your desire to have a more involving experience / or not!

nope, i've been right here the whole time, my question was about software basically, i understand that with 7 speakers the sound can be converted from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 or 8.1, etc. for that matter, my question was only regarding how much true 7.1 material is out there.

More than 5.1 is primarily for movies. Only a very few music releases utilize more than 5.1 and none of those are discrete.
