WATCHING A MOVIE at home is one of the things I always look forward to when coming back off the road from a long business trip. My home theater has evolved over the years from a modest 5.1-channel setup with a rear-projection TV into a system I never dreamed I’d attain: a JVC RS2000 4K projector, 110-inch Stewart FireHawk scope screen, and a full Dolby Atmos speaker system brought to life by a Trinnov Altitude 16 processor and ATI N-Core amplifiers. I truly am living the home theater dream.
Some say that the center channel speaker is the most important weapon in the home theater arsenal since more than 80 percent of a movie soundtrack is reproduced by that single speaker. But I would argue that the subwoofer is more important and is the element that will impress your guests the most. Rarely does anyone say, “Wow, listen to how clear that dialogue sounds!” But check out the look of awe on their face when a .50 caliber rifle round unloads in . Now that’s what I’m talking about!
