DTS wouldn't make any difference. If you can play low enough than the Irene scene is pretty damn cool lol

One actually doesn't even have to play that low to enjoy the scene as there is a strong fundamental ~18hz with others below 10hz around 5hz or so.

My room is strong to 14hz and I don't find the Irene scene to be anything worthy of a demo. So I'm not sure how impressive the fundamental is....

The Irene scene is actually pretty cool, but not a 5 star bass movie. That effect is is very hard to get and detect but it is neat.

I have to agree with others, watched Underworld Awakening last night and it had alot of house shaking bass!! Movie wasnt that great, but the low frequency bass made it alot better!

Anymore I just wait for the movies to come to HBO, Starz, Showtime, etc.. Between all the channels, I have plenty to watch and if something stands out, I buy it on Bluray for upgraded sound and PQ. This thread has been a tremendous help for buying blurays with LFE.

Hey DrPainMD, did anyone help you out with the waterfalls? I don't know how to do it or I would have helped.

As for the picture, Is that JBL?

Yes. Down on his knees, that's James B. Lansing doing some speaker testing.

It actually looks like my wife's uncle! I thought it might be JBL or whatever his name was because he had that huge 18 inch JBL sub with the small JBL control speakers all over the place. 5 fronts and maybe 5-6 surrounds. JBLsound or something like that. He always showed that huge theater in europe with tons of JBL subs and speakers.

I do the same thing. These days there are so many HD movie channels, it's possible to see a lot of good films via cable or satellite. I am very selective about which titles I buy for my BD collection, so it's useful to me to watch possible candidates on cable first. Even in HD, cable movies don't have 1080p video or HD audio, of course, but they generally look and sound very good nonetheless.

I've been kicking myself for buying this movie. Especially since I bought it instead of getting The Grey. Sounds like I would really like that one.

Hahah!. Yeah. Ashley was a hoot! He made a comeback here, actually just a few months ago.

What operating system you using, Pain? What kind of I/O do you have access to on your lappy?
post #3918 of 8265
Just grabbed a buddy's Underworld: Awakening blu-ray to "acquire" into my pc to use with my WD TV HD player. Haven't watched it yet, that will be this weekend!

Quick questions...What's the resolution for that DTS-HD MA 7.1 ??? Mine shows 16/48.

True. Was still pretty cool though to experience it with 2 LMS5400s lol

Finally watched UA tonight. Insane awesome bass. After that I went to see MIB 3. Good movie but now that the ht is improving I was quite disappointed in the audio system at the theater. Sigh.
post #3921 of 8265
The Grey... four stars sounds about right, but I'll look into the plane crash scene with Speclab yet. Just as much fun as the one in FotP, though much less LFE heavy.

Now, if y'all will excuse me, this movie left me with the profound urge to turn on some space heaters.
post #3922 of 8265
As promised, waterfalls for the plane crash in The Grey:

Just watched Vudu version of Star Trek: Generations and omg, three bad is plentiful and loud. Since it was an earlier movie it does not get into the sub sonics that often bit it is still a great thrill ride. If this is indicative of how the Blue-Rays are, consider it sold.
I have to give it a solid 4 stars.

I agree, I have so much content to watch with my Xfinity and even with added ondemand, you can basically find any movie with a touch of the button. I have to say that the PQ and sound is almost on the Bluray level (IMO). They just put new lines in for Verizon a month ago, I am seriously considering switching over, just for the new fiber optic lines.

Two movies to add, I watched part of Colombiana last night on HBO and surprisingly it had some great LFE and I picked up the Day after tomorrow on Bluray, DTS HD and it also has some great LFE. Surprised it is not on the list.

quick question about speclab:

Can you directly measure from laptop if it has a BD drive? I have two computers with BD drives and have been wondering about this for a short while. If possible, I'm hoping to test it out on 'John Carter' BD because I was somewhat disappointed by the output.

Thanks in advance.

Underworld is my favorite bass movie this year. It was ridiculous.
