Everyone knows the phenomenon of "audiophile music" – music that is tailor made to sound really good on expansive systems, usually with insane dynamic range, acoustic instruments, and female voices. You can hear this kind of music almost exclusively in audio shows. And there are also audiophiles that tend to only listen to this kind of music, so they can relish at the ultimate sound of their systems.
I'm wondering if a similar phenomenon exists with movie choices among owners of high end home theater systems. Do you find yourselves choosing to watch movies based on how complex their soundscape is, or whether they were mixed in Dolby Atmos and the likes? Is watching a movie that is mostly dialog and has no subwoofer effects a turn-off? How about old (or indie) movies that have only stereo or even only mono mixes?
