Hi, I am pondering upgrading my current 5.1 surround system to a 7.1 system.
Their will be a difference but it fully depends on the movie. If it has 7.1 audio like DTS EX for example you will then have the "full" experience otherwise it will just matrix the rear channels.
If your room is larger this will be a more noticeable difference.
