10 years ago I had a home theatre with 2 JBL 3677s that had 2226s swapped in as woofers and NHT surrounds as rears. NHT Super Sub also. Then I sold the NHTs and got 2 more 3677s, also with 2226s. Standing joke was that my speakers were bigger than the TV (32" Toshiba) Subwoofer was a 4648 with 2 more 2226s.
Then there was a 6 year hiatus w/o any TV.
Now I have a TV again and 4Pis in front, period! Watched 1/2 of Fellowship Of The Ring tonight and didn't miss surround at all.(My townhouse neighbors didn't miss the subwoofers, either)
Point is, movies in 2 GREAT channels are damn fine; maybe finer than lesser 5.1. Better to skip the extra channels and build the best 2 you can.
