Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex?

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.

The Breeze and The Ride cinemas using Meyer Sound.
Bryston isn't used in US, but probably has some info on theatres equipped with Bryston sound. They demoed their huge cube-like multi-channel poweramp for commercial cinema setups.

Thanks Czarivey. Here in the SF Bay Area, as far as I know, we don't have any premium theaters of that kind. But after I posted my earlier comment, I remembered going to a theater like that in Hollywood a few years ago and being knocked out by the picture and sound. I take it there are several such places in and around LA. Definitely worth the premium ticket price.

Too FREAKIN LOUD!!!

I always take in a pair of ear plugs.

Agree with everyone who said it's too loud, at least in most theaters I've been to. Arclight Cinemas in LA might be the exception, but don't know what sound system they use.
