[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 32782, member: 18"] I make a point of taking my gf out for drinks before the movie these days, it seems to help with the sound. That said, I often think it is operator fault that underlies these problems. I have often heard knackered tweeters (and over-drive that would kill many a tweeter) in cinemas and usually report such to the manager. Much of the equipment in use in theaters is great though. I have had a lot of fun with pro drivers in making that "theater" experience to my liking and for HT there are imo few alternatives. I have in the past gone over-board with this though :) Then there is the matter of the pro-sound "line array" trend that allows compact dimensions for lots of sound...I have often heard such systems sound terrible, but also have a fond memory of an L-Acoustics set-up at the Mall, London that literally blew me away.
