Me too. I have an old creative 5.1 PC system combined with a projector in my basement for a pretty good home-cinema vibe. At some point I will upgrade the front channels but it's fine for now and we have nice bookshelf speakers for zone 2 music listening.
In my opinion the suggestions of multiple sonos' for surround are slightly mental - it will end up a high price for poor sound, possible connectivity/lag issues and not really eliminating cabling as they all need separate power supplies (looks like external wallwarts too, which is even more annoying). I understand them for multizone in a large house with far-flung rooms but I would still put in slightly more effort near the beginning and wire proper speakers up if it were me.

Unlike the majority of posters on this thread I like surround sound, a helicopter whirring overhead or something rustling behind you adds to the film. Also fun for computer games.
