Well, let's see, at the latest theatrical experience: - Constant buzzing in the surround channels everytime bass-heavy surround effects would kick-in (and this is a "state-of-the-art" DTS multiplex that's been open 2 months). - People kicking seats. - Hot auditorium (which wasn't 1/2 full).

In all the years I've been going to the theater, other than laughs at comedy, occasional gasps at horror, and a few sniffles during emotional scenes in drama, the audiences I've been with just sit and watch the film, then...

Have you read *any* of this thread? There is *nothing* showing in his Home Theater because it isn't even finished yet. He said clearly that he couldn't put up a picture of the front of the HT room because the screen isn't done yet. But a blank light box wouldn't make for a very interesting...
