Silly question. Music vs movies which is easier for a home theater to handle.

There is also just a simple answer; your car system is designed for music as your Home Theater is designed for movies.

I’m sure you have heard the statement that some manufacture of home speaker sound better with music and other sound better with movies. It’s all in the design, when I went speaker shopping the first thing the guy asked me was “Which do I listen to more, music or movies?”

I wanted to get the towers, but I told him I watch 90% movies and maybe 10% music. It was explained to me that the towers I wanted I would be wasting my money, because they are more musical and it would be best for me to get something different other then the towers.

I had some Klipsch towers before and they were great for movies but not music, I’m not sure if it was because of the horns in them and not the tweeters or maybe the mid-range on them were not as fast as car speakers.

Every speaker is designed different for movies or music, or the type of music can be a factor in the design/settings such as Rap or Classical music. In your car I’m sure different music will sound good while other will be terrible, if you switch from Hard-Rock to Smooth Jazz, I’m sure you will think the same way as the difference with music and movies in your Home Theater.
