I didn't go to theaters for years until just recently. During that time, I've just been using either Blockbuster on-line or for the past few years Netflix, and buying a new movie about once every week or 2. I then switched from a HTIB to a pair of M22's with VP100 center. I went to see Crazy Heart at an AMC a few days ago and I was disappointed in how lousy the theater sound was compared to what little I had at home.
