What am I supposed to be hearing in 7.1 surround sound? What's the big
deal?

You're supposed to be hearing, in your mind, all your 20-something or
30-something friends saying "Whoa! Way cool sound, dude! Totally
awesome!!", even though they can't hear a lick of difference either.

Apart from that, my 35 year-old AR-3as still produce as sweet and accurate a
reproduction as you could ask for, particularly with a CD as source. They
do demand a lot more power than todays speaker systems, though.
