Re: Number of seats

Check out the IMAX cimenas...they are setup with 5 full range speakers & a giant subwoofer. I have always found the sound to be very good.

But you have to remember when you are trying to fill a big space, you need REALLY big speakers. Horns come into their own in such spaces. I recall some of the old style cimenas that had only 2 speakers (horn style) behind the screen & they sounded great (unlike some of the multiplexes). You were often left with the impression there were speakers behind you, even though there weren't any! They also used tube amps. That is one reason I keep kicking around the idea of going for horns & tubes...
