Sure, which is so much easier to do these days, without spending a months
wages.

And the point you seem to miss is that if you really want good 5.1 or 7.1
sound, why expect to pay less (in real terms) than many did for 2 channel
sound in the seventies? People would be expecting to pay 3 months wages for
a HT receiver alone. It's just not gonna happen!
