Woot! My QS8s arrived this morning! I love that I could be home for the delivery and still get to work on time. Again, Aime and Noreen are 'da bomb'. Thank you both very much.

Now if I can just get through the day at work knowing that my new babies are at home waiting for me to mount them and watch a couple of movies... Any suggestions on movies to watch first? I was thinking of watching the good parts of Episode 2 (pretty much anytime where Ani is not on the screen), maybe the matrix, Underworld is nice too, blade 1 or 2? Something else?

James

Pod race from episode 1.

Blade 2 may be good w/ the first fight seen. You can hear the motorcycles behind your head.

I didn't find Matrix that impressive.

Daredevil uses the surrounds a lot. Saving Ryan's Privates (DTS) is great. Much more subtle, but very immersvie.

i don't know of a good movie to demonstrate this, but to me rear dialog and subtle sounds like door knocking can be more impressive than special fx like in star wars.

when I first got my QS8's, was listening to a japanese movie that had a door knock in the background. i actually paused and got up to answer the door...

Thanks. Sadly I did pay to purchase Daredevil so I might check that out. Um I don't know if Saving Ryan's Privates is a movie I want to watch... Is that straight or gay porn? ;-)

Hi,

Try "The Bourne Identity". Very exciting sound mix at times yet some lovely nuances in other scenes (in the marsh, where the guy fires the shotgun: marsh ambient sounds and flocks of ducks taking off all over the place).

Very exciting movie overall. I'm surprised that more people did not have it on their 10 best list. Proof that like him or loathe him, Matt Damon can be very effective in some roles. Interesting watching the diverging career paths of him and Ben Affleck.

but did you like the bourne identity concept when it was called Paycheck w/ Ben Affleck or the FOX TV show John Doe? Perhaps Total Recall w/ Arnold...
