blargman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Anyone watch this new movie yet? I watched it earlier tonight on my system. I think I need a sub or something. The LFE sounded horrible, scratchy and just sloppy. Curious what you guys thought of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2012 The bass from your RF-7's shouldn't sound like that, check the receiver and make sure everything is set correctly. I don't know it would be called LFE what your hearing, i doubt LFE is being to the RF-7,s even set to large. And yes for movies you really should have a sub even for just a front L&R if you want to hear real movie bass. Not that you fronts have a problem but movies have some very deep bass sometimes which no main speakers can handle. Without the sub you will just not get the deep bass but no other problems, it's not like it's mandatory to have a sub for movies. Last but not least it very well could be the movie ?

Boxx Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 And I would rate the movie... just OK... Somewhat entertaining, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blargman Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 From what I've read on other forums, this movie is just an LFE monster. We'll see how it sounds once my sub arrives. I think it was just too low and too much even for the rf-8 ii's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechnut Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Did you watch it on Blu-ray or rent it through your cable/sat tv provider? If it was the later you'll be unimpressed. Wife "had" to watch it this weekend and it wasn't in redbox or netflix. So we watched it over cable. Makes me so sad. There is an EPIC scene in there with Poseidon that I know would have broke glass in the house if I was watching it on blu-ray. Unfortunately because of cable, the signal is compressed and it was underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blargman Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Do you mean where he jumps into the sea and causes a tsunami? Yes that pretty much destroyed my rf-7's. It convinced me I need a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechnut Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The LFE in that scene was redonculous!! Makes me want to go get it in blu-ray just to re-live it. Did you watch it on blu-ray or over cable/sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I liked the movie better than Clash of the Titans. The LFE were very good in DTS-MA. Not an Oscar movie, but well worth a rent from Family Video. Once they put it up for sale I will buy it for $9.00 to go with my BD collection of good sub effect movies.
