a 5.1 system has 5 speakers including a front left and right and a front center speaker. It also includes rear left and right speakers plus a subwoofer for a surround sound experience. A 2.1 system is just the Left and Right channel in the front and a subwoofer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.2.1 is just the soundbar and/or subwoofer. 5.1 has 2 additional speakers that goes behind your couch so you can hear noise that is meant to be behind the action.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ".1" represents the subwoofer. In most package deals for 2.1 or 5.1 systems, this subwoofer will be passive, meaning it receives all power from the receiver. A 5.1 system is a bit more complex and will give you that true surround sound feeling. It will give you 4 bookshelf speakers and a center channel speaker.
