When it comes to a home theater, sound is almost important as sight. One of the biggest differences between a regular television room and a movie theater - home or otherwise - is in the sounds.
What's missed by using only a television's speakers or poorly placed speakers is a lot. If you've ever seen "Saving Private Ryan" in the theaters and then at home, without good speakers, the difference is amazing. In the theater, the bullets seem to whiz right by your ears. The commotion on Normandy beach seems more realistic. It's the sounds as well as the sights that take you there.
