Just how obsolete are DD and DTS?


What is someone missing if that person decides to buy a heavily discounted DD/DTS pre/processor? Can THX movies be played successfully on a DD/DTS decoder?

Well guys, you've seen my posts here: I started with a simple 2 channet HT, then a friend gave me a set of used Bose 901 IVs that need refoaming...

About three weeks ago I watched Spiderman in a concave screen movie theatre and they were using Sony digital movie format, if I recall. The way the sound was setup is not feasible for HT. A few days later I went to The Gramophone in Detroit and auditioned a *spectacular* HT setup while watching Pearl Harbor. The surrounds looked like inverted 901's!!!! That's when my mind started running. I CAN build something decent for a reasonable amount. So the DD/DTS pre-proc will do the job...

Cool.
