audio versus video

[PeruvianSkies]

I feel you are right, that the word "theater" in most minds is synonomous with a large screen. If you told a friend to come over and see your home theater set up, they would be disappointed to walk in and see a 27" TV, even if surrounded by a killer sound system.

FINALLY! I'm glad someone gets what I was trying to say all along! Whew.

Both are equally important. However, my sense is that most people attribute a good home theater based on what they see (as in the size of the screen etc etc) and not the quality of the sound. That doesn't mean that sound is not critical, but typically people don't think about good and bad sound until they hear truly awful sound....then they notice it.

I guess we are on the same page then! But what else is new.

Not much I suppose...maybe it's time to throw out the MC vs. 2-channel question....lol

And how often does THAT happen?
