The audio alone is not up to snuff and that is the only thing *I* would consider for myself.

The sound system seemed to be in excess of 500watts per channel with a definite 30-40Khz frequency response, the last time I saw a movie where they were actually pulling the system to it's limits. (the last star wars movie)

Unless you spend a good bit of money and are a sticklar for specs, I don't think the audio is good enough.

If you can cover 30-40Khz at 120db, I think you can get a better response. The reason is because those theaters rarely crank their systems and only when it is expected of them. Personally I would raise hell in a theater that is not at concert volume for the simple fact they can do it, but choose not to for some reason.

I'm on the opposite end to most on this one. I prefer over 100db when it is possible and not a decibel less. I think most people don't like sounds that loud.
