"Superior" and "Loud" are NOT synonyms. A theater with a good sound system
will not make your ears ring or give you a headache. A bad sound system
will give you headaches and be disturbing (sounds coming from places where
your brain tells you they shouldn't based on visual input, etc.) A sound
system pushed past it's limits (volume turned up too loud) will sound worse
than one running within it's limits.
If you believe that your showing was not "up to standard" as far as sound
and visual quality, let THX know at

_menace&image=jpg (assuming you saw it at a theatre with THX).
Look for the THX logo. It DOES mean something.
