Last night, I watched my The Incredible Hulk BD. Starring Ed Norton and Liv Tyler. And while not all of you might like the movie I did. I think it was a decent effort. What impressed me was the sheer SLAM of the LFE. I think I've watched maybe 10 titles so far on my new HT system.
This BD has some very serious LFE. The most I've experienced from any BD so far. So low. With so much energy that I actually felt a little fear that my walls might come apart. Come to think of it. Glad it didn't flow out the glass in my window. Though it didn't rattle at all. Nor the 2 framed movie posters I have on my walls.
My HT room is in the basement. Complete with concrete floors. Though I do have hardwood on top (special foam underneath between). And I felt the force of the LFE on my chest and up through the chair. it's almost as if the bass was slamming into the bottom of my chair. I actually turned down the volume a little. Down to -20 or at one point -22.
From the energy wave sfx to the foot stomps of the Hulk. Force of the forklift that was hurled into another structure. Impressive!!!
Does help to have a sub that can definitely deliver the goods. I have a SVS PC13 Ultra. HUGE sub. Bigger than my floorstanding speakers. :) So very glad I bought this sub. The claims that this sub can really pressurize a room is no exaggeration. And I haven't really cranked up my system. Was loud enough yesterday at -20 to -22. I usually have my Pioneer Elite receiver at -17 for DTS HD MA encoded BD's.
Any how if any of you have watched any BD's which you feel had similar SLAM please post. So far for me this movie gets top spot. More so than Dark Knight. But for overall audio quality I guess I'd still give the top spot to DK. Just in terms of home demolishing LFE this honour goes to The Incredible Hulk IMHO.
