What home theater is not

It is not for people who do not know how to create a proper stereo and stereo surround sound field. Some years back, I was in a home that had the tv to the left of the main front left channel speaker. The whole surround system in essence was to the right of the tv. That is what I call DUMB.

I know somebody who just bought some fancy speakers. The two rear surrounds are not placed properly, yet the party is bragging how great the system is, but says mine is annoying. The trouble is that his systems surround sound is totally lacking in its soundfield. Mine is not. This is one of these people who knows there is a sky above their heads but sees the blue sky as purple.
