Just to clarify my question: With his setup there was no typical glass tap sound. That is, if I wasn't watching the TV & didn't know that this movie was playing, I wouldn't have been able to make out if somebody was tapping on a glass bowl or if somebody was knocking on some other surface. After that experience, I do take the Finding Nemo disk whenever I am auditioning other systems at audio shops. Some may have not been as powerful (/thunderous/room-shaking/what-ever-you-want-to-call-that) as that Axiom-SVS combo, but most of them did reproduce the distinct glass tap note.
Maybe it was just some wierd setup issue or something at his place, but I wanted to get feedback from other Axiom/SVS owners as to what they hear in this scene. And since I am not finding any other such system owners in Chicago area, I am not able to do another audition.
Thanks,
Gary
