I once visited a home with a **real** home theater. There was a projectionist room, with two synchronized full-size 35mm projectors, splicing table, the whole nine yards.There are those who still maintain the B&W movies only look right on B&W screens, and all that plasma is nothing but sugar in your Lafite.
I tend to agree. I would much rather drink $20 wine straight than Lafite with sugar.
People sometimes draw a forced parallel between the worlds of high end audio and video, when in reality there is absolutely nothing in common.
