I gotta tell you, while I have great respect for the obvious and huge technical difficulties to be overcome in designing sound for big movie theatres, I can't say I like movie theatre sound itself; my heathkit aa-151 triode mod'ed amp, as low hifi as it is, is "yummy" to my ears; I ENJOY listening to all sorts of old vinyl on it, it bathes my ears in just wonderful sound - "yummy" is the only word I can think of that really describes it - and vocals are nice and clear, so it's not just distortion of a kind I like - or maybe it is, but in a way that preserves vocal information - but, while I get ACCURATE sound in a movie theatre, and LOUD sound in a movie theatre, and STARTLING sound in a move theatre, and gut-rumbling BASS in a movie theatre, it is NOT ear-pleasing sound, it is just good informational sound for the movie, and to me there is a world of difference.Best Regards.
