One down side is if you are watching football and you are working on something in your basement close to one of the side speakers all you hear is crowd noise. Positive note you can hear those fans yell F U refs very clearly compared to if you were just mashed the voices and sounds together in 5.1. I find my cheapo reciever fakes 7.1 pretty well so I am guessing any decent newer reciever should be able to nail it as well
