Here in Nick and I's home town, we have about 5 theaters that are THX certified, ok stop laughing everyone
Basically the side walls and rear walls are lined with direct radiating speakers, along with speakers near the front, not sure about a sub. Why do you think Axiom's quadpolar speakers are such a smash, they replace this theory of lining your walls with speakers.
Anyway, I also agree that the sound was not the best, especially when compared to my own setup with Axiom's. Like Nick I also try to sit about halfway up and in the center. My buddy wanted to sit in the front row, I told him go ahead but your nuts since the screen was a 60' screen
