Stefano, it is funny that you have mentioned the “an old, little cinema in a small town”. I do not know if you did it unintentionally or you meant as some kind of sarcastic self-deprecated joke. What I mean is that the initial industry demands for rudimental time-alignment come from old "cinema houses".  Up to the mid of the 20s the films did not have synchronized recorded sound. In the mid-end of the 20s the first Vitaphone, Movietone  and Photophone system show up and sound synchronized become available. The most advanced sound installations in cinema houses at that time had 2-way acoustic systems and the cinematographers’ recognized that when they presented once in a film tap dancing  then without  time-alignment of the channels they do not have visual and auditable synchronized between the actions and sound.

Dear Roman... I apologize for the "honey" I'll be using right now, BUT - sincerely - I love too much reading yr. posts to be "sarcastic"... I try - don't know if successfully or not - to use some wittiness, to suggest, push some discussion topic I'd love to see enlarged, broadened...

Back to the post... it's an interesting reading trying to figure out the "how" and "why" the actual listenings in our homes is like we know...

From the old catalogs of the WE, RCA and Altec companies, owners of the brand-names and copyrights sure give us an historic background, a view to a shiny, adventurous past so full of errors and inspired findings, where Wente, Thurat, Olson, Jim Lansing and others built from scratch a new science: audio.
