Absolutely things like this are built mainly to impress and induce awe. I mean, with a category like "best home theater in the 250,000 dollar range," you know there's a market for home interiors like that!

But, still...YES, PLEASE!

The thing I don't understand about most home theaters is their penchant to create them very narrow, with third, fourth, and fifth rows. Who is ever REALLY going to sit more than two rows back? Seems kinda silly to me.

Ostensibly, movies watched in home theaters will be watched with family and friends, which means being seated near enough to trade commentary, reactions, and to share the popcorn - at least to me.

Honestly, when I see stuff like this my initial reaction is that it was built so that people will take pictures of it and put it in magazines and on websites. It looks built to impress, not built to enjoy.

okz thanks for the explanation as i was going to ask the same question which chris pepin asked.

The photo above is of a home theater in the Dallas, Texas area. This theater won an award for best home theater in the 250,000 dollar range! The link takes you to a European home theater. There are also Nautilus home theaters in California and a Mississippi.

Indeed, it seems the photos got mixed up.

The photo posted is not the same theater as the one in the link.

Wow! I could live in this theatre, or even die there.

Thanks for the heads up on it.
