Dunno anything about Boston but the best HT system I have ever heard was one set up at the HK AV Show a couple of years back. The room was GIGANTIC and the system was an all McIntosh electronics (using souped up Denon flagship A1HDC/UDC based systems) to McIntosh power amps (looked like many mono blocks) to Focal Utopia Be speakers.
The room was extremely large and the volume level turned up pretty high but it was dead quiet when the soundtrack was, and sharp, superbly positioned when needed. The scene was the Hurt Locker sniper shootout. It was like the bullet pierced the air from behind the listener and ended smack into the middle of the screen.
