Surround Speakers 5.1 vs 6.1

5.1 surround sound
To make the DVDs 5.1 come out thundering, you will need a powered sub-woofer for your A/V surround setup. In my opinion, you miss a lot of value to play DVDs with 5.1 through a Prologic decoder (yeah for people like me on a low budget). Please also note that not all DVDs have 5.1 sound channel.

problems with 5.1 surround
Does using these expanders when you have a surround sound system distort the sound so you're not getting the full benefit of the experience? Which one should I use?
