It's the sound that's missing from a home viewing setup

Great home theater sound systems with subwoofers are cheap and readily available now. They make the home movie-watching experience dramatically better than it used to be.

  • Adds complexity, cost, and clutter. Meanwhile, the living situations of many (most?) people forbid it; no big-kicking subwoofers in apartments and condos, and you're probably keeping the volume at polite levels.

    And for all that, it's likely still not up to par with a theater, unless you geeked out on a dedicated theater room.
