I'd really have to put on my engineering cap to do 5.1 without having a bunch of ugly cables going in different directions.

Unless you dont have carpet

Gonna read up some reviews on some. problem is that my bottom of my viewable screen is 5.5" above the tv stand. that doesnt leave much clearance for most center speakers.
