Chesseroo,

You are very correct, maybe I too have generalized too much here as well. The point is not specifically all DVD's I have music DVD's as well. What my point is to be more specific, is that Movies in general and lets take for the example LOTR or even Star Wars Episode 1, While these movies have good sound tracks the main event of the movies is the special effects and the pumped up lazy base that rolls on and on. You do not need a really good system to make these movies impress somebody. Take for example Bose systems (this I speak from experience because my first HT system which I do still have was upstairs in the main family room, my wife’s criteria, " I don't want to see big speakers" So when see saw the Bose systems well there you go) Now this system while sounds good (as good as Bose can Sound) playing movies it absolutely sucks at music. Compared to my Yamaha 995 it is absolutely pathetic for music. Now I take the 995 and put it on my system in the HT Room and compare it against my Denon 3802 or my Denon 5800 when played flat you are hard pressed to pick out the 995 from the 3802, I can't. I can hear the differnce from the 995 to the 5800 but then again you are not comparing apples to apples. So with out rambling on here, I did not mean to lump all DVD's into this statement, and I agree with your thoughts. But the fact is, and I am sure that Ian, Joe, and Allan will tell you that a movie that is made for effects such as LOTR is more forgiving of a system for accuracy then a music CD or music DVD.
