*The centerpiece is the nice display, and the sound is given little consideration it seems. But we
appreciate the sound, so maybe it just seems more important to us, I think most people don't
care so much. *After all, HT entertainment is two-fold: visual and aural pleasure/excellence.
( it sure makes it much more expensive proposition than 2 channel. )But from my two channel listening habit, I can fill in what's lacking
from visual ( nothing much I can improve here out of 32" direct view'
without even a progressive scan ) by creating believable sound reproduction.It is too bad, like you said, the sound part of the HT systems at most
dealers is served up as a second banana.I think most people respond better to the visual stimulation and loud boom 'n' sizzle ( the sound
that impresses owners as well as their neighbors in a short run) than subtle aural ques
that make up a complete whole.
