That's the real rub. There is a New Zealander on the UK Home Cinema
newsgroup, who generally tries to disparage my set-up as brit-pop, who
insists that the only way to do home cinema, is to set up a replica of his
local cinema in miniature. Woe betide anyone, like me, who uses a system
for
both music and cinema, or who actually lives in the same room. He even goes
as far as buying dreadful JBL porno-flick horns, so that it sounds as bad!
I digress. The point is that speakers in cinemas are designed to shift
large
volumes of air (much like the speakers used in music concerts), and as a
result can't beat the fine detail you get from a good quality speakers in a
home environment. OK, you all know that I heavily weight my budget towards
the sound. Even since I splashed out on the plasma, 70% of the budget went
on the sound! I've still yet to find a public cinema that can compete with
a
well set up home system in terms of sound.
