Best theater sound, best soundtrack process

Though there are precious few of them, IMHO theaters with an HPS-4000 sound system provide the best overall sound, best bass, and highest dynamic range. They are demonstrably better than those eqipped with THX.
Of the three competing soundtrack processes (well, hardly competing any more since most films provide all three)the best is the Sony SDDS system (eight track, there is an inferior six track version although that's still pretty good)followed by DTS and then the highly promoted Dolby Digital.
So for me, the ideal would be to see a Sony SDDS film an an HPS-4000 theater, a rare event to be sure.
