I don't understand the notion expressed by the reviewer that a speaker not good enough for music is good enough for movies. The scores of movies like Ben-Hur, South Pacific, El Cid, West Side Story and Lawrence of Arabia is certainly worth being reproduced in the best manner possible.
Now maybe a mediocre speaker is adequate for reproducing the car crashes and bombastic surround sound of the latest "hero outrunning an explosion" movie but not for reproducing the sublime work of Rozsa, North, Elmer Bernstein, Tiomkin, Newman, Rogers & Hammerstein and others.
The reviewer also thought that the speakers in question would need a subwoofer with "all" movies. All? Do we need subwoofers for "Gone With the Wind" and "Sunset Blvd"?
