I'm really into music, using Rotel and B&W gear set up in a 2.1 configuration (floorstanding speakers plus a sub). However I also enjoy music DVDs and am planning to upgrade my system in that department.
My question is this: do I need to upgrade my music system to 5.1 / 7.1 in order to take full advantage of music DVDs, or will 2.1 give me superior sound?
Recently I was watching a music DVD at a friend's place and I could hear a guitar coming from a rear speaker. I've never experienced that at a concert! I've therefore assumed that 5.1 / 7.1 is designed for movies, not music DVDs.
Am I missing something here?
