Brian here again

I know what my point was, I was wondering about anyones views about the difference between our B&O driven cinema experience compared with 'the real thing'.

I love going to the cinema, and prefer Imperial in Copenhagen. They show some movies in digital format, so scratches and the likes are avoided.

But I must admit that I also love going to the home cinema 😎 although my speakers aren't connected at present, as I've just moved, so I can't wait till it is all up and running so I can enjoy a good movie.

I don't think that it's all about the movie when it comes to the cinema. I enjoy the whole package, the special feeling there is.
But on the other hand, it's also nice to watch a movie at home, because of the privacy, and there isn't someone tall in front of you or someone who annoys you during the movie.

Since I have my BV7 with B&O surround sound, I have been to the cinema only twice. I know the feeling is somehow different, but I really prefer watching movies at home. The quality of our cinemas over here is very good, as the 2 biggest ones were renovated 2 years ago, but that doesn't make me want to go there...

The difference between cinema and home-cinema is not as big as the difference betwenn CD and concert, that's why I prefer going to concerts, which I do very often.

Sound and picture quality at the local Odeon is rubbish. Really bad motion juddering, pale blacks, chromatic aberration at the edge of the image, shoddy speaker levels (centre channel always too quiet, too much from the rears) and the subwoofers in some of the screens rattle.

Overall, I much prefer watching at home properly, although I don't have a BeoVision, only a tiny little 17" Philips LCD, so it's not massively better as far as picture goes (in fact it's worse). Much much better sound though...

Wow, while i love what we have at home regarding AV, i still love the movies, we must have good theaters compared to guys over there! Most of our cinemas are decked out with Krix, and the picture normally very well balanced and clear. Can't beat the bellowing lows, the realistic balance of sound for the speech and the huge screen.
