Now if you talk to Alan Parsons (engineer for Dark Side of the Moon), he'll tell you that 5.1 is stupid, and that Quadraphonic is king...
well if you are speaking technically any thing .1 is stupid because it is a better experience to buy verbose full-ranged speakers that can project the subwoofer's frequency from any channel.
As far as 5v4 channel, I don't get how (with proper equipment) adding a channel can lessen the experience.
