What's a 7.4.4??

Yeah, I know what it is . . .

In this context, how do we count our multiple speaker systems? Consider the HT system that’s 7.4.4. It’s definitely more than a pair; in fact, it contains several pairs: two pairs of subs, two pairs of surrounds (side and rear), two pairs of heights, and either a trio of fronts or a pair of fronts with a solo center. Even my quartet of Timbers Arrays has two distinct pairs with specific fronts and rears. The K2 S9900s are paired with a pair of subs!
I feel the pain of your first-world problem!

Maybe to avoid further embarrassment some of us should just admit to "more than . . . " and leave it at that!
