you suddenly made me understand the huge US market for expensive HT.

Naturally, with cinemas like that, plus trafic and parking problems, everybody with enough money want a good HT.

The Copenhagen cinemas compete on quality. And the Danish government funds a filmschool, a filmstudio, film production and technical education. This is considered needed for a part of our national culture.

Nordisk film run a chain of cinemas, and they on purpose set playback levels much lower than the THX standard.

Their most elegant cinema is Imperial.

Build as 1500 seats, improved seats reduced this to 1102 seats. 35 m (115 feet) screen to projector. Screen 15,7 m x 7.4 m (51x24 feet) Todd-AO curved.

2 pcs 40 year old Philips EL4001 DP80 "Todd-AO all-purpose projector for analog film 35 mm and 70 mm
Barco DP100 DLP projector from 2004
1998 THX checked 2 times pr year by THX.
Soundsystem JBL model 4675A-2. Playing Dolby Digital EX, DTS and Sonys SDDS.
Behind the Imperial screen are 6 loudspeakers. Paired to make L C R, each has 2x15" (model 2225H). JBL Bi-Radial constant coverage horn (model 2360A) and five JBL amps (model 6260).
Subwoofers are two 120 kilo (260 lbs) JBL (model 4788), driven by two JBL 6290 amps. Each subwoofer has 2x18" JBL K151.
Surround is 18 stk. JBL 8333 and 6 JBL pro 3.

If you go in the daytime, there might be 100 other people in the 1102 seats, no phones, no talking, nice sound levels. Evenings you can enjoy an elegant well stocked private bar before the show.

Re mid-market: Yes, I try to offer value for the money :-)
I saw a USD 450,000 pair of loudspeakers in stereophiles guide.
