Moderators Youthman Posted November 9, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2014 Wakejunkie and his cousin were down visiting and tonight we rented Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise. Great movie and it had more LFE throughout the ENTIRE movie than I have ever heard. The RSW15's were shaking my entire home. I can't wait to hear Wake's dual 18's in an IB configuration. He said it pressurized the room enough to move his hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If you like that one, rent Transformer 4. It also has a lot of continuous bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Check out the "last blu-ray you watched" thread. Comments there warned of excessive ultra LFE and crazy mixing in Edge of Tomorrow that potentially could damage subs. Haven't seen the movie yet, but this wakened me to be careful. Interesting that "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise, even non-Blu-ray, was one of the most impressive sound effects movie I've heard in HT.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 9, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted November 9, 2014 If you like that one, rent Transformer 4. It also has a lot of continuous bass. I remember that when I saw it in the theater. Check out the "last blu-ray you watched" thread.

Honestly, I can EASILY see how a movie like that could damage subs if they are turned up too loud. It definitely gave my subs the most workout they have ever experienced. I was probably at their threshold and wouldn't dare have turned them up any louder for fear of damaging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas0line Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Tron legacy is one of my favorite movies for showing off my HT. House shaking lfe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Free massage? Time to straighten pictures and move items away from the edge. I was freakin out that I blew one of my RF-7 woofers. Turned out a small picture slipped down between the speaker and grill when I moved the speaker a few inches. I'm the dumb *** for not taking the picture off the top of the speaker. Was relieved that was causing the rattle as opposed to a blown woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Get those Command strips at Wal-mart to secure the pic's. It will also help keep them straight, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am in the mood for a good LFE movie as the last 3 BD's i bought were duds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) The infamous sub damaging material is just on the opening credits, it's this continuous obnoxious sine wave that steps down like 4 times for no apparent reason. Otherwise it's pretty on-par with most good action movies, I think there's just as much or more LFE's in Transformers. I was much more impressed with the 7.1 rear surround content on "edge of tomorrow", I haven't heard any movie that sounds as nice on rear surround material. Also the fullness of the gatlin guns sounded totally badass on my RF-7ii's that I'm running full range. The sound effects from the gatlin guns that were mounted on the suits was my favorite part by far. What makes me grin is movies where you're NOT expecting bass. For example, the Toy Story Halloween special. There is LFE that runs all over several big name action movies.

Gas0line Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) U shoukd try running ur rf 7s small witha. Crossover of 80. With movies like edge of tomorrow and other movies with massive lfe, your subwoofer will handle the lower frequencies much much better.
