Is a home theater even worth it or doable?

The answer is NO. 90% of sound quality depends on your room - 95% of people don't have such a special room...(non-residential rectangular room with concrete or brick walls, heavy and hard wooden floor, sloped ceiling)...
Plasma TV is the most analog picture - the most fun, more like film ... but you will not find a panel of this size now ... You can find a projector, but a quality screen will cost 5 times more.
Films with effects - they are made for children ... an adult serious movie - even mono sound is enough for him - a goavy plot and acting.
If there is a good movie (for example Avatar 1) - visit IMAX ...
Do not throw money and time out the window = life is short!

I saved you a lot of money - visit sick lonely people - they will be very pleased, and you will make your soul better.

you have to get main speakers for a home theater system. Sound Qualityis really important to enjoyable listening. Center channel is great because it doesn’t contaminate the main speakers with voice stuff. less muddy pure music.

Need a large subwoofer makes all the difference in the world

Surrounds are nice if you have a big enough room.

Invest in Quality amplification and A processor of quality. Stay away from integrated stuff.

That’s a really really really big screen you have. 85 inches seems too large

Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Home Surround System looks easily set-up and sonically very promising:

How do you like Kaleidoscape in your home theater system? Do you use it that much versus other streaming sources?

@emergingsoul  next to adding a Trinnov the kscape is the biggest improvement to my system. Flat out I’ll pick the kscape first and only stream a series or occasionally movies unavailable to buy for the kscape system. Often I’ve bought titles that I own on disk, the improvements are not subtle. My disk player is an Oppo 205 for reference.
