While I'm looking forward to toying around with the Trinnov, I'm also amused by the disconnect between video and audio perceptions by HT fanatics.
They'll whine seven ways to Sunday if some color timing choice doesn't fully "represent the intentions of the director." And yet they'll post-process the soundtrack up the ying-yang without a second thought.
Trust me, the guys who engineer and master film soundtracks are artists the equal of anyone working on the film. Their artistic intentions are essential to the quality of the film and also deserve to be reproduced as they intended.
So then the industry accepted and endorsed THX post processing will also hinders percived artistic intentions as well? No. The truth is that no home theater will sound like commercial cinemas which was the original venue that the mix was intented. Also the video comparison isn't all that valid, for simple reason. The video even on BD is still compressed, and video just doesen't look like film no matter what.The sound however now can be master quality with no alteration at all depending on the studio's parctices, but the venue differences will be there just like I said earlier, so the so called artistic intents will be compromised regardless. Room correction software is useful just like room treatment to deal with each individual rooms, and have very little to do with artistic intentions.
