Agreed, Mr. rrlev. I have a couple of wonderful home theater systems. Problem is, so few great new movies. Sure, you can shake the place with Transformer, Avenger franchise offerings, but great movies, no.
As to 2 channel having reached its peak, I sort of agree. 2 channel is mysterious. I spent a day with a friend who has a megabucks system, Marten Coltrane II speakers, EAR electronics, a 6 figure turntable with a cartridge to match. We were listening through about a half million dollars of stereo gear. The music sounded really good, but not as good as some much less expensive gear I've heard.
Some of the best included a rig of 2 Axiom made Michaura M66s (2 Axiom 6.5" drivers and .75" Axiom Ti tweeters in a gorgeous large stand mount cabinet), twin Dahlquist 15" subs, Sony 9000ES SACD player. Speakers were blown out by ibid for under $200 the rest all used. That system cost less than $1,000 and to my ear sounded better.
Synergy and the room.
