Greetings all:
I hope this, my first post, won't be too abstract or simply annoying....but here goes...
I'm wondering if seasoned HT owners truly achieve something like the immersion effect of watching a movie in a theater.
I ask because I'm about to go from a 34-inch Sony and two stand-alone speakers to the Samsung 61" HLN617W DLP and HT sound system (specifics undetermined).
While it seems possible--and quite enjoyable!--to focus on the myriad aspects, trivial and important, that go in to perfecting an HT system, the bottom line for me as I evaluate my new system (30-day test drive through Magnolia HiFi) will be this:
Does the HT system allow one (me!) that sense of immersion in a film akin to the theatrical experience? Do you find your HT allows a qualitative (quantum?) improvement in your movie-viewing experience over your previous direct-tv, non-HT set-up?
Opinions?
(And thanks to all who maintain and participate in this forum--it's the Internet at its best!)
