Re: What amazes me is that this is an audio site

Actually, the only part of this movie I enjoyed was the alien machines' deep "bwaaaaa" sound coming from my Vandies. I think you find little comment here on movie audio because the trend is "the louder the better". Subwoofer heaven but little else. Overdriven and highly compressed sound is why we no longer go to theaters for movies. Deafening isn't overstating it. Occasionally you find a movie where having a great audio system makes a difference, but for me soundtracks more often detractions from the movie.

After a year I still think the 530HD is a great set. I'm still glad I opted for it instead of an LCD or DPL. Colors, contrast and blacks are terrific and more than make up for the slightly softer image of the CRTs. Pioneer replaced the boards about 6 mos ago, within about ten days of my service request; no green streaks since. Great service from Pioneer. I just wish I could find the matching RAE53B equipment rack.
