I am not sure yet. I know the Blue Rays are 7.1 so I am looking towards that but than again I have been with 5.1 for a while. I think 7.1 is what I would go with in the future because that is what my elite can do. But as of right now I think 5.1

5.1, 7.1 isn't worth it and you won't tell the difference

They do have plenty to test and this is what I take:
~3 CDs (classic, rock, heavy)
~DVD (Depending on the setup at the BB, you can test a good DVD with the speaker setup)

After Best Buy I would start searching for some smaller home theater shops that have show rooms, they will stock other brands (both cheaper & more expensive).
I used to work in the Magnolia show room.. lol.

I agree though.. go to like a Tweeters etc and demo in their show rooms.. really nice.

7.1 is only worth it if you have a dedicated theater room, and a big one in my opinion.. which is why i'm 5.1.. :tup:

Except mine, it is so small they only have speakers on shelf's. the closest one that has a room is about 50 minutes from me. :shakes head: But hey I go there sometimes.

I agree 100% if you have a larger room.

the other problem with best buy over a small audio shop is the customers in Best Buy are allowed to play with the product and they move speakers and change settings on the receivers which often times really really really screws things up

Sadly tweeter closed last year that hurt me badly. But that is also how my neighbor got his LSi 25's for 900 bucks for the set plus the center!:eek:

That sucks, then you might want to hit up some smaller shops and see what listening rooms they have. Though some I have been to have basically 5,000USD per speaker setups only, which his fun to test and a blast to talk to the owner but waaay out of my price range.

Damn you, I was testing some gear in a Houston store (only one with working DefTech) and has to spent 30 minutes to get all the settings corrected on a receiver. :p

Oh ya, we had one opened 4 months ago it was a HT specialist and than closed about 9 weeks ago. I do not make this stuff up I like in the open and closing area. It blows!!
