$8,000 worth of subs is nuts - I'm here for the music primarily and the cinema, while fun, is secondary. Not trying to build a pro theatre in my little space. All I wanted was to improve the DIALOG (vocal range) in my center channel - the rest of this discussion is WAY over the top.
(But I do already have a pair of JBL amps running the pro monitors)
Of course, if you are aspiring to Pro theatres ... have you ever seen an IMAX film in an IMAX theatre? Makes a 70mm print look like low-res junk ...
Emma called for reservations yesterday - we have reservations to see "The Dark Knight" next week in IMAX at the UDVAR-HAZY branch of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
