Each SH-50 is 10 ft. from my sweet spot, measured at the tweeter/apex.
The Center acts like a TV stand at a little over 7 feet from apex.
TV is roughly 5.5 to 6 feet from my head, yielding a perfect, Dolby prescribed, 45-50 degree subtended angle to match my seat at the local Movie theater. Even that close, my normal vision can't resolve individual Pixels yet, I get maximum sharpness on the latest Digitally Mastered 4K movies, making the idea of 8 K resolution totally ridiculous.
Screen is 77" LG OLED 4K.

I watch a lot of vintage BDs from the 50s through the 70s. While there are some very impressive exceptions- https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/PJ-Blu-ray/258849/ https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/North-by-Northwest-Blu-ray/139345/
-the audio of most of my titles were often hit with a lot of dynamic range compression for various reasons.

While the compression may not necessarily make the movies sound as bad as if the audio had clipping (overload) distortion https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Inferno-3D-Blu-ray/174325/ , hum or other audible noise, if you were often to play such content, might the lack of dynamics and flatness of the sound become very fatiguing, even with well-designed horn speakers?

And since the dynamic range of a recording cannot be restored once it has been compressed-even with software like this https://www.izotope.com/en/products/rx.html?srsltid=AfmBOoprArvJASWIn_nRl5VfwNTUTkD4b1iscv0adPnsn6rzV9aHxAcG -might we then be more inclined to instead choose direct radiator cone speakers for movie soundtracks with such audio quality problems? Perhaps even some of the better turnkey speaker systems?
