    Default Stick with 7.2 or go to 5.2 with bi amping

    As the Title says I'm currently running 7.2 and Just Bi-wired my fronts and don't really notice much of a difference, so I'm wondering if I should go down to 5.2 from my 7.2. I don't think any of my blu rays offer 7.X. I'm really at a loss of what to do, so I though I'd ask ya'll. Here's my set up:

    RX- Yamaha RX-V663
    Center: Polk CS2
    Fronts: Monitor 70's
    Rears: Monitor 40's
    S. Rears: Monitor 30's

    Forget bi-wiring. As far as 5.2 and 7.2 ? Depends on room size, how you have it set up. And most of all it's what sounds best to you.

    Play with the set up if you like it enjoy it!!
    Sometimes.. late at nite... I fill my bathtub with tomato sauce and pretend I am a meatball.

    Blu-rays don't have to offer 7.1. That's what DPL-IIx is for - properly reproducing the matrixed surround data they use in the theater for the rear channel.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR1007 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi28 surrounds, rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer and Buttkicker LFE, powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector
    Elite Screens 100" Matte White screen

    I bi-wired my 70's, and I noticed a slight difference, but not enough to give up my back surround speakers. I did find this site:
    http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php

    You can filter the list by different criteria, including DTS-HD MA 7.1. Sorting by 7.1 surround, I got 156 results for DTS-HD MA 7.1. The Doctor Strange cartoon has one of the most immersive surround tracks I've heard from an animated feature....
