Can Home Theater be "High End"?

Sure can! Just listen to a setup consisting of the Meridian 861 Processor, Revel Speakers and Jeff Rowland MC-6 multi channel amp and you'll get more than a taste of high end sound. Granted this setup costs a small fortune but you didn't give any budget restrictions!

Of course you can have a highend home theater, but highend two channel (for music) costs much less for the same quality, and the music software is more plentiful by a margin of 100,000 to one. I'd love to have a Runco/Stewart Filmscreen/Faroujda setup, but I can't afford $150,000 for a home theater, and enjoy my $15,000 2 channel music system as much, or more, than I would the home theater. If you have little interest in music, and primary interest in movies, by all means invest in the best home theater you can afford.

well said guys!! I am winning this arguement!!

My Idea was to build a quality two channel system first: Jeff Rowland Consummate Pre Amp Jeff Rowland Model 7's Power Amps Duntech Sovereign 2000 Speakers Alpha Goertz AG2 speaker cables Magnan Signature Balanced interconnects Theta DVD CD transport Theta D/A Converter Now add for home theater: Hitachi 60" HDTV, Mono blocked center chanel (200 WATTS) Jeff Rowland Model 5 Stereo for rear channel power Duntech Prince's for rear channel speakers EAD Theater Master to control the 5 channels & last but not least a 16 x 24 building to put it all in. This is dicated 2 channel & an acceptable Home Theater. This my life long dream system. I am moving in the new building this month, I have all the electronics boxed & standing by, can't wait. Heaven can't be better than this,LOL mtineagle
