Star Wars: Episode III

Thanx for the info, but my trip has been planned and I'll probably catch the movie at the Mann Village in Westwood, which is probably my favorite theater because of its projection quality, huge auditorium (1,400 capacity), and standout sound system (the subwoofers alone sit inside of a massive enclosure that required ripping out the front three seating rows to install). The Metro is a nice theater, but it's definitely smaller than the Coronet, although if the sound system is identical to the one inside the Coronet, then it might make for a better sound experience. I always thought that the sound system at the Coronet was pushed beyond its comfort zone, but it had the huge screen and the buzz with a full house.

The biggest problem the Coronet had was acoustics. All the hard surfaces made the system a bit harsh with the wrong soundtrack. It could have used 8 subs instead of 4 but thats not gonna happen anymore.

The Metro has a larger screen by 5 inches in width. The screen at the Metro actullay fits the auditorium better in some ways and has better visual impact. The Metro seats 675 and actually sounds better in the mids and highs. Much smoother sounding. The bass is not quite as tight as the Coronet but there is more of it. I only wish they would ditch the older JBL surrounds for the big EV surrounds that the Coronet had. The Metro uses all EV behind the screen with bi amplification and double stacked bass bins and 4 subs.
