To prove my bonafides, this is what I do for a living. Here is the 7.1.4 room we're building at the moment in Montclair NJ... It actually has 4 subwoofers, but it still can rightfully be called a ".1" as they're all acoustically coupled in one location (lined up below the 2.35:1 acoustically-transparent screen).
This happens to be our first room using SONY's bad ass VPL-VW5000ES LASER (rec.2020 capable) 4K projector. The room will cost ~$100k without equipment, but including custom Cinema Tech seating, Owens Corning custom acoustic treatments, and starlight ceiling.

That's what I'm talking about and thanks for the clarification.
