When the HT only guys do a setup, they usually have a giant RP TV, some receiver and HT geared speakers, dirt cheap DVD player, and one giant sub.I have to admit, watching DVDs have no connecting experience with the real world, which is what true music reproduction is trying to achieve. Every time you see a flyover/driveover of a plane/helecopter or car, we are to assume that it went offscreen and into the rear. But is the image real enough to let us believe that is actually what happening. Also in movies, with the quick short cuts in a scene, along with the audio track that follows each cut to a tee, no matter how short, it does nothing but confuse the person watching. There is no real world correlation to the way the sound is produced.
I think IMAX might be the only situation where one is actually immersed into the visual part for us to believe we are actually there. It is not just due to the size of the screen and resolution, but the way it is filmed.
