Hi all,

I'm shortly having the carpet replaced downstairs and having laminate installed. The chap doing the work has agreed to put some flat cabling underneath so that I can run my surround speaker cable out of sight.

I'm wondering about having 4 cables running so that I can upgrade to 7.1. The room is a perfect size for it and I'd be able to position the speakers optimally. However I seem to recall reading on here that it's not really worth the upgrade?

My amp is 7.1 capable but not Atmos, this is something I have thought about upgrading.

Thoughts?
 
I'm using Monitor Audio BXFX for my rears, so I'd use the same again. However I want to upgrade my floorstanders which of course means having to change everything to match. More money I guess. :D
