Yea I spent 3 years in the Deutchland some time ago 87-90 The first time I heard the THX logo, the rest is history...The Kino the krauts called it ..Beer and wine at the Movie..Since then I always do the same thing, Skybird and others..Glad to hear their are other freaks like me..But being in the biz I am always dissapointed with the sound (no matter where I sit)Video is always great... But lets face it if you run Krell and Martin Logan in your showroom theater..Well guys you know whAT THE HELL i AM SAYING!!!!
