Dude... no need to be shy to post your views... I'm certainly glad you did! My main intent was to give this everlasting debate a more "permanent" home since the other threads will "drift off" as other messages are posted.
HT setup DOES play a part, as well as the acoutics of the room in having an impact on how the various sounds sound to you. Having a LARGE sub DOES help with deep bass, but I think having
quality speakers should be the ultimate goal. Having subs that provide deep, rich,
accurate (whatever that means) bass will help you
become part of the action.
It's hard to describe how sounds "sound" using words, especially when describing surround sound but I WILL say that I don't think
volume is really a "value added" part of the discussion.
Also, how about those who find
dts too overbearing or just "too much to handle"? They would probably favor
DD over
dts since the
DD audio won't blow their ears out. Does this mean
DD is "better" than
dts? Does this even factor into the techincal debate at all?
I think it would be great to have a
DD vs
dts audio comparison event, like the audio cable comparison event we had at
Audio F/X in Sacramento. Get some DVDs like
U-571,
Gladiator, and
T2:UE and do "blind"
DD and
dts tests to see if we can actually
hear a difference and see which one we tend to favor the most frequently....
Should be a fun event...
Peace....
