What's the difference between 5:1, 6:1 and 7:1 speaker setups?

 

Cesari Constantino
Can anybody tell me the difference and/or advantages of having a 7:1 setup and where exactly are the speakers placed?

Simply put...More speakers = Better sound (usually)

For 7.1 you'd have 4 surround speakers. Surround Left, Surround Rear Left, Surround Rear Right, Surround Right. The other three are normal L, R, Center.

I can't imagine 7.1 is all that much better sounding than 5.1 but I haven't actually heard 7.1 so I don't know.

As yet,there`s no such thing as 7.1
You may have seven speakers,but the two rear centers are mono.
The future of 7.1 is to add a height channel ( yes,above your head )
