 I think the best way to find out if you will like this new set up is to use a pair of speakers and try it before doing the final installation 
Most movies are 5.1 and few 6.1 ... so the sound for the back surrounds will come from the surround speakers (receiver will do this mix); I read somwhere that a 7.1 is better used when you have more than one row of seats or when you have a large room (I don't know what is your situation) 
I'll suggest you to try it first and see if you like the results ... my room is 9' x 18' x 8' and I have two rows of seats ... currently I'm using 7.1 and I like it  |
salvasol. i am currently building a hometheater and my room dimensions are the same as yours, and i am also thinking of a 7.1 setup. do you have any pics of your room layout? i'm looking for inspiration.
