Get yourself a copy of "The Haunting" with Liam Neeson and report back about the LFE there. That's the first DVD off the shelf when it's time to show off a bit. I dislike Liam Neeson so much that I don't know if I can pull the trigger! Cars (Disney/Pixar) is very good for surround/LFE as well. And it's a helluva movie! I'll have to put that Russell Crowe (Masters/commanders) on my Netflix list though.

Get yourself a copy of "The Haunting" with Liam Neeson Ray, ummm, hello? Catherine Zeta-Jones? You man card is hereby revoked until further notice.

Maybe Ray didn't have his glasses on and couldn't tell the difference between the two. Kept thinking, "Wow, Catherine really changed her voice for this movie? What an actress!"

Catherine has a voice???? If you can't get past Liam, let's try Tom Cruise and War of the Worlds. One's objective of LFE is critical to the choice here, NOT the actor. BTW - if you are a bit adventurous and want to do some downloads via ftp, this thread is pretty neat. Somewhere in the thread is an expalanation by "swithey" of how to do the whole ftp thing. A short summary - some of the AVS denizens have created a series of demo DVDs designed to show off aspects of a system (LFE, DTS, 5.1, Dolby, etc.). They are done pretty well in an amateur-ish kind of way and are pretty entertaining (you can also download covers for DVD cases). I have the 26 demo disks and the compilation disk. Here is a summary site that will give you some information. This link titled "HT Demo Disc Summary.doc is a list of the contents of each disk. Demo disc 2 is an LFE treasure and 5& 8 provide some nice variety. EDIT - Adding a link to some pretty specific FTP tools/info in the demo thread. If you have the equipment to burn a DVD, these things are really worth a look. As an aside - if you REALLY want to know which movies have LFE/bass - knock yourself out

Just watched Transformers with my kids, now that has some serious stomping, explosive, LFE. \:\) YES! during the big fight in the City there's a point where a transformer prepares to jump over something. Best Bass/LFE whatever the technical term for "my house shaking like mad, windows about to burst, feel the pressure in the room change" scenes I've ever seen in a movie!
What does this button do?

Just watched the live free or die hard movie.
Definitely some LFE in that one!
The bass was extremely clean and loud during most of the scenes, but there was about 2 times during the movie that I heard a rattle comming from my ep500. I was getting a rattle from my sub but after tightening the hex screws on the amp plate I thought I had cured it.
MY sub is calibrated to 75 db at -12 on the denon, but I upped it to -8 during the movie. After I heard the rattle I replayed the explosion at the proper -12db and there was still a slight rattle.
Is this normal?
It seems like if I push on the amp plate the rattle goes away. I do not think I can tighten the screws any more

I know Tex gets a little rattle from his EP600 and he puts that beaver on it to help stop it. Maybe try something heavy on the top of yours to see if it helps with case harmonics.
