Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex?

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.

JBL is the biggest supplier to theaters across the u.s.

We frequent a Cobb Theater complex and their audio is, as others noted elsewhere, TOO LOUD during movies. We saw a Bolshoi Ballet live broadcast from the Marinsky Theater recently at the Cobb Theater complex and the audio quality was pretty decent, not as good as at home, but pretty good. (Pathé Pictures from Paris was doing the video/audio technicals.) The oddest part of the experience was the fact that the live orchestra was, of course, in the pit below stage level but the sound was reproduced with the orchestra coming from above stage level. Very disconcerting.

Way too loud. I frequently ask the manager to turn down the volume at local theaters. Sometimes they actually do it, and I make it a point to thank them later. Once, I was told that, for IMAX productions, there is no local control over sound, including volume...they can't turn it down. He was probably lying, but he did suggest avoiding IMAX if I was "sensitive" to loud sounds. I also don't go in the theater during the previews, which are much louder than the feature.

Way too FREAKIN LOUD!!!
