The Master List of DVD, HD-DVD & Blu-ray Movies with BASS Thread...With WaterFalls - Page 10

Great list on BASS movies/scenes.( found this at the right time)

Is there any other thread or link which list movies/scenes to test the speakers ?
I thought I would use that to audition the speakers if the list already exists...

-- More dialogue oriented scenes ( for center channel clarity)
-- Music and action combined scenes ( to test L and R)
-- enveloping surround scenes ( to test surround speakers)..

This may not belong to this thread, but couldn't find a better place to ask this question.

Check out THIS Thread and the summary doc referenced in my sig.

I just glanced at the list and docs and hhmm...awesome.
Exactly what I was looking for last few months...

For those who do not have BB or Netflix, here are the details and trailer:

I agree about "The Host". However, posts without timestamps/chapter info are almost meaningless (why bother).
So here it is,
Check out 1:42:50, has some good subsonics. I could see the Passive Radiators (4 18" ers trying to keep up) get a good workout (meaning good subsonic LFE). I am guessing good 16Hz material here. There are 2 additional active 18" drivers doing the real job .
Yes, throughout the movie there is good bass.
There is one scene worth noting (sorry don't have the time stamp, so may not be worth mentioning) where I could hear the monster overhead. It was like it was walking up in the 2nd floor. I could actually feel it moving over the ceiling when it comes looking for it's guest being host (potential prey ).
That scene confirmed that my surrounds were well integrated to the subs

Thanks for this excellent service.

I started with Master and Commander. I have listened to Chapter 4 a number of times, and it shakes the room, bringing a smile every time from me and from those I've shared the scene with.

I have checked out timestamped scenes from some of the other movies, like Daredevil, U-571, Apocalypto and don't get nearly the quality of bass as Master and Commander Chapter 4? Is this a setting issue I should explore, or is the Master and Commander Chapter 4 just that awesome?

Thanks again for this great service!

The sub is a Truaudio CS-12": 200 watt, 30 - 150 Hz (-+3dB), 113 db SPL @ 1 meter, connected via LFE

The other 5 speakers are Truaudio REV-LCR.1: 8" woofer, dual 2" mid, 1" tweeter, 39-20k Hz, 92 dB Sensitivity

Powered by a Onkyo 805 that has been Audyssey calibrated.

It's odd that Master and Commander is so incredible, and I barely notice the bass with the others.

Give me paypal details and I'll gladly contribute

Shooter

ch1 0:03:00 32Hz
ch1 0:04:21 22Hz
ch4 0:27:53 32-40Hz
ch10 1:18:13 12 & 36Hz
ch14 1:33:00 15Hz
ch16 1:44:05 10Hz

All sniper shots are in the 38-40Hz range

Movie "300" is a good flick. Better for surround than sub though. Still....

Chapter 20 - 1:10mins - Rihno
Chapter 20 - 1:11mins - Pulse

Hot Fuzz is bass heavy in quite a few places.

With all that talk about Host having good bass through out, only one chapter is mentioned here?

Ian

I definitely agree! From the WB logo, and throughout the movie, my 7.1 system was getting a workout and pulse-pounding bass.

Ouch! You got me. (However I did mention it was at the end of the last chapter.) To be honest with you, I like to watch movies with out having to take notes for a review. However, if I owned my DVD's I would be happy to spend some time going back through the film providing more details, but since I rent them I's difficult to find that time before they are due. A brief synopsis of movies with deep bass impact would be fine for me, but I also realise there are members that want more info in terms of what to expect before they order from the menu.

Ian

Very good movie to test out your subwoofer. Cant wait to try HOT FUZZ!

I saw that we have V for Vendetta listed but no timestamps, so I though I would contribute

Chapter 3- Blowing up of the Old Bailey (0:10:20)

I didn't know what the timestamp signifies, the EXACT moment of the bass, or the time around which it occurs. I put mine about 20 sec earlier, when the music starts up.

But the actual blowing up (which is awesome), is at 0:10:40.

I love this movie... which IMO, is MUCH better than the Matrix films.

EDIT: Here's another:

Chapter 15- V's Scream (1:00:07)

I know it has already been mentioned, but just wanted to give this one another thumbs up. Hot Fuzz has to have the most bass of any movie I've seen in a LONG time. It's probably overkill, but it's great.

The movie is sort of a spoof of action movies, and takes everything to an extreme level, including the bass. There were low "whoosh" sounds every time anyone opened a door, during scene changes, etc.

There were a few explosions and such, which would be good for the list here, but anyone who enjoys bass should definitely check this movie out. Note that I watched on HD-DVD w/ DD+, but I would imagine the DVD would be good as well.

If you are a fan of cheesy action movies and/or British humor, you won't be disappointed.
