Rico,

One of the reasons I don't go to theaters much anymore is the problem you mentioned...bad sound.

I don't know if it's some of those "blockbusters" with the screaming soundtracks that are screwing up the theater speakers, or if the sound mix is bad, or if there are other problems (like the film being run a thousand times by the time I see it)...but I agree, and have the same problem. I am getting older and so is my hearing, but most dvds sound fine to me on films watched and listened to at home.

A lot of what I go to see in a theater are older films (mostly noir and French films from the 40's and 50's) in small theaters...and I can hear every word (I can't understand the French, but I can hear it).

All the best,

Gary
