This should be really cool, expensive but really cool

- 11 speakers, 11 amps whoa movies like you are right in it :T I am a sound guy :B

- Dolby Pro Logic IIz 9.1
Dolby chose to focus on front-height channels rather than add additional surround channels or back-height channels because “it’s easier to localize sounds in front of you,”

- Audyssey DSX 9.1 front and height channels

- Yamaha’s flagship 11-channel AVR already supports two front height and two rear height channels using proprietary Yamaha technology

What I like is that studios can now encode in 11.1. But they hardly use 7.1 now so who knows how long it'll take them to pick this up. Either way DSX has been able to do 11.1 for a while now.

Yes there are very few Blu Ray in 7.1

There are only 66 Blu Ray with DTS Master Audio with 7.1, 20 with Dolby TrueHD 7.1 .

The issue has been that all movies are mixed in 5.1 for commercial movie theaters, only recently have hey release Dolby 7.1 for movies
