Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex?

So far, I've yet to experience a better sound from a theater than from my own set up, and it's not really a HT setup. Granted, the sound from a theater has more boom and is room filling, but when a get a blu-ray copy and play it at home, I hear so much more in all categories save for the bass. It still rocks my socks but doesn't threaten the neighbors.

The same goes for the video quality as well. What looked great during the theater experience pales to what I get at home.

All the best,

I only darken the door of a movie house to see " Live from the Metropolitan Opera", but my AMC 16 does a good job with that.

I find the audio at most theaters too loud.

I'd like to know of some specific theaters that use Meyer or Bryston. I think both of those brands are far too expensive for movie theaters, but would like to be wrong about that.

I never noticed much difference until I went to the Alamo Drafthouse and listened to their "State-of-the-art bi-amplified QSC digital audio system" It is a little bright and thin but has pretty good dynamic range and detail and is miles ahead of other cinemas in town.

Impressive picture quality too.

Overall I find the experience worth the extra dollar or two they charge.
