I was thinking of what i want to do next. As some of you know, i currently have a 5.1 Ascend/HSU setup. I was noticing I have a cozy spot on my back center wall for an extra HTM-200. So, i was wondering what some of you guys thought about a past upgrade from 5.1 to 6.1 (or better). I use my system for about 75% HT/ 25% music, so movies, esp DVD movies, are a mainstay in my home.

So does it help much of anything or are you shocked when you notice some unique sound out of the back. Also, on just 5.1 material, will the movie just output to my normal surrounds and just not use the back, or will the back speaker be used and my 2 side surrounds be ignored?

Just FYI, a 7.1 setup just isnt an option for me because my HT is in a retangular room and it is setup on one half of the "U" but facing the longer lengthed wall. So, on one side of my setup, I have just open space and no where to mount a side speaker. A tall stand to remedy this would not pass minimum WAF requirements.
