bigrol21 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 One of my favorite movies for sound has got to be The Incrdibles. It's hard to choose which part is my favorite, but I really like the part where Mr Incredible shatters the window of his car. My RF-25's and RC-25 sound so clear it's well...incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Been watching Incredibles and found it SO dynamic that I use the 'night' mode to avoid scaring the bejesus out of myself. On the Yamaha, it compresses very loud dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 The Balrog scene from Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring is one that I like to use on mine. Of course, the Pod-racing scene from the Star Wars Episode I is typical standby. There are some scenes in this newest Star Wars that I friggan cannot wait to check out on my system!

cyclonecj Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I use 3. The opening scene to Twister. The Matrix, starting with the lobby scene & ending with the helicopter crash. Air force one, at the point where they take over the plane, until the plane takes off again at the air force base. There is also a part in this, near the start of the takeover, when someone gets knocked in the head with the butt of the rifle. It has been known to shut down my system before I changed to my current center channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonecj Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Air Force One is even better... bullets are flying all over the plane, just not in slow motion. Edit... I should add that when the plane takes back off, you will duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooting_monkey Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The entire Titan AE movie. Darkness Falls is really good for surround testing, since the "tooth fairy" flys around you all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The pistol shot in Behind Enemy Lines, where Owen Wilson's partner is executed. Cranked up, it does sound remarkably like a handgun shot, it is fairly short duration, so there is no significant heating effect. Do not try this at home with smaller amplifiers, this will clip most amps at high levels. Hey, where IS my copy of Behind Enemy Lines, anyways?!

There are some scenes in this newest Star Wars that I friggan cannot wait to check out on my system! ---------------- I'll second skonopa's demo scene, but expand it to include the entire Mines of Moria sequence... this roughly 20 minutes has it all, from front soundstage panning, to quiet, whispered dialogue; from full-room raucous battle to front-to-rear effects (arrows flying past your head); and MUCH bass, from the moment the Balrog is heard (BTW, a nice front soundstage pan with a torch held by Boromir, while Gandalf explains what they are about to face), through battle on the stairs with enormous stone masonry crashing down, to the jet-engine roar of the Balrog. Put on the DTS track from the extended edition, set your system where you normally would for the average DVD (the LOTR DVD is recorded a few dB's hot, so this should step it up a notch), and make sure that your gear, your ears, and your neighbors can handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrol21 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Another good one is in National Treasure. There is an explosion at the beginning of the movie where the wood particles are crumbling all around you. It sounds Sooooo cool! I have a KEF PS2150 for my sub and it shakes my entire house and then some while my Klipsch fronts and rears pick up the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
