What do you the next sorround will be a high and low chanel?
For objects that moves from the low to the top.
A 6.1 system with 24 bits / 96 khz in each chanel?
A new form of 3D surround system that is so realistical that it actuelly fells like you are in the movie
Or what about a smell system where you can actually smell the movie ?
What do you think ?

Do the subs in a .2 system get different signals?

It would seem odd to have that, but who knows!

Yup. They would have to. Otherwise, it'd be 10.1.

I just assumed the decoders would just have 2 LFE outputs instead of just one that you would have to split!

I wonder how that would be beneficial?

Maybe one LFE from main channel info and one LFE from surround channel info?

With the 10.2, DVD's won't be as good because they only deliver 5.1 unless they rerelease everything in 10.2 format

I think I'll pass on that upgrade.

Actually, for a 10.2 system you don't need a new encoding format.

One of the designers as Lexicon has developed a system that creates "matrix" channels to complete the 10 channels. Stereo subs can just use the content from the left/right main speakers along with the .1 channel. He also claims he could add "ceiling" speakers by using the current 5.1 format. Considering how well Lexicon's logic 7 sounds, I beleive him when he says it's possible.
