Guess I enjoyed the movie too much and pushed the sound and speakers too hard. Boy what a movie. My Mirage L/C/R thought otherwise though

I hope you did it on the Aston Martin crash.

If there is a scene in Casino Royale that would blow a set of speakers, it would be the roar of that airline airplane flying past the chase.

I would guess it would be the last scene (building implosion). I noticed that there was a lo of low bass and it seemed recorded a few dbs higher than the rest of the film.

I watched this at -2!

I blew out my speakers once but it was with a CD. I think it was Alice in Chains. It was pretty cool, flames literally shot out!:cool:

well its just one of the tweeters I think. I have a mirage uni theatre rated at 100 watts and I think my
Sony 5200 pushed it too far with CR

It sounds like your Sony 5200 may produce too much distortion along with the audio.

If the sounds blew out your speakers, especially the tweeters, this is cause by the distortion generated by the receiver/amplifier at high volume. Mirage is a pretty good speakers. It hapened to me once, of course my amplifier was a Sony. SInce, I never bought Sony receiver.

My wife smiled at me during the building implosion. While it might've been recorded a little hot, it was still mighty impressive. It felt like we had bass shakers and the sound didn't distort at all.

I want to have friends over just as an excuse to watch the movie again (at proper audio levels, not some wimpy night-viewing).

I initially watched CR at family/wife-friendly levels. This gives me an excuse to go back and see what happens...

Hmmm.... my wife cut her eyes at me during the implosion scene too. I looked at her and smiled and showed that my hands were far away from the remote. :D

The opening scene has some good bass to. I just wish the rest of the movie showed more life. :D

Sux you blew a speaker, that 5200Es is a beast, Are you running any amps, I have the 7100ES combined with Outlaw Monoblocks

sounds more like a poor hardware configuration than a testament to the tonal range and dynamics of casino royale...

I'm waiting for the weekend to watch this movie. I want to be able to watch it at volume without annoying the neighbors. Can't wait to see what my Mission 77's and the H-100 do with this movie from my new VSX-82TXs
