The key to a good home theater is acoustics, all rooms do a bad job without help.
Absorb at first reflection points, reduce flutter echo with diffusers on parallel walls, load your corners with SuperChunk bass absorbers.
Decay times and phase at xo points are next, ringing isnt just high frequencies, bass notes ring too.
get some software and a decent mic to test. I have been building theaters in houses since 1987, mid level gear in a well tuned room will easily create a directors vision. Super high price gear in an untreated room is plain foolish.
go read on what goes into control room recording studio design, ur head will spin :0) in a good way!
untreated rooms are a blur of reflections, and echos, intelligiblity is so bad no matter what the volume is you cant understand dialog.
Read, read, read, GearSlutz is a great ProAudio site, look up the recording studio area, controlrooms and most of all, Acoustic treatments.
