Movies with good surround sound?

ahhh I see said the blind man to the deaf... I was actually thinking of building my own surrond system not sure if I want to go with 5.1 or 7.1 but I like the idea of 7.1 if it's ever supported.

Good HT option for the DIY route, you'd just need to come up with a good sub for them. Of course, I'd recommend better mains for the purpose of music listening

Onkyo 6.1 home theater system. Sounds amazing for a home theater in-a-box.

Onkyo HTR-S680, pictured below but mine is silver.

For an 8" suboofer, that thing certainly packs a punch. Damn near vibrates the pictures off my wall. For $400, I couldn't be more happy.

i almost have the same excat thing. i think mine might be last years model, or something. its a real good deal for what you get...

The pain with all the additional speakers is setting them up right right way. Every apartment I ever get is shit for setting up HT. I'm always having to make sacrifices just to get my 5.1 as close as I can get it. The girlfriend gets a little mad with me until we watch a couple movies, then she forgives. I use an spl meter to set my levels too. $30 or so from Radio Shack. Works just good enough to do that, not very good for car audio though.
