I’m a big movie buff along with being an audiophile(Two channel music first with HT being a strong second).
One thing that I think is often missed is that a true HT system isn’t always about the deep rumbling bass or the bullets wizzing to the sides or behind your head(although that is cool). It’s also about the gripping musical scores that are played in the background of these movies. If you have a great musical HT system the background music just pulls you emotionally in to the movie even more.
Also, if I’m spending big $$$s for the stereo system I might as well be using that equipment for everything.
