If I were to judge by the last movie theater I visited, I'd have to say
movie theater sound sucks rocks. The last place I went, which is a
popular theater in a nice part of town, they had a very unnatural bass
boost. By ear I would say it was maybe 10 dB at around 100 Hz, or
maybe a little lower. It sounded atrocious. I don't know why people
would want to emulate them. Maybe other theaters are better, but
overall I can't say I look to movie theaters as a shining example of
high fidelity.

Well, you can recreate the impact. The quality of a good system
in the $2000 or so range is vastly superior in terms of quality
and accuracy, of course.

But Bose just isn't going to cut it if you want a real movie
or live performance experience.
