I wonder if they forgot what base they were on??
Question someone's magic rocks and you get kicked out. Question HT and you get a pat on the back.

I think they go for the experience. If that weren't true, why would theaters spend tens of thousands of dollars on sound systems?
I reject your thesis. Do you know the meaning of the word thesis?Obviously some people enjoy the entire package. Do you understand the meaning of the word primary?

The question was asked; answers were solicited and given. And it’s surround sound that’s being questioned, not HT.
The only comment I've heard by any friend or family member who is not into audio about the sound experience at movie theaters is that it is too loud.Whether I do or not has no bearing on the nature of movies, something I think you misunderstand. I understand the importance of sound to them but that doesn’t affect their inherent mature as a visual medium.

To say that sound doesn't affect the nature of the movies as a visual medium is almost like saying we didn't need to go to color from black and white.
Who said that?
you did... didn't you? ::runs back to read::
EDIT... yeah you did..
I did? I’m surprised I said something so foolish as that sound doesn’t affect movies, I’m certainly aware it does and said so recently. Like John Ford said, I like talking pictures. I’ve often talked about my love of the large film format magnetic multi track roadshows of the 50s and 60s. My wrangling has been about the primary nature of movies and the need of surround sound vs. 1 or 2 channel sound of good quality.
Anyway, if I said that it was damned stupid of me.
You know, I pondered this statement because I know it is true. I have concluded that it is at once true and irrelevant. People almost always express when they find something in particular not pleasurable because that thing stands out to them. People seldom do the same when something is realistic. They take that for granted because that is the "default setting". It's how things should be.The only comment I've heard by any friend or family member who is not into audio about the sound experience at movie theaters is that it is too loud.
Okay, let me ask you. Have you ever listened to something that was mixed for surround? I want to get an idea of what percentage of people who reject it out of hand have either never heard it or have only heard processed "surround". As I said above, I don't like that stuff either.Have a pretty good surround system in my music rm, all separates including a stand alone surround processor, separate amplifiers for all channels etc, and yet I still prefer my music in stereo, surround for tv and movies. In other rooms I use stereo for all and don't feel I'm missing anything.
