Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Sub demo movie

I had good effect with some of the ship battles in the first Pirates of the Carribean. When the kids are up we watch the opening scene from Bolt to show off. I've heard the Master and Commander opening battle scene is a good one, I'm saving that for when I get the theater fully up and running and configured- right now we're in the trim/paint stage...

I like the bass in the music from the Morpheus vs. Neo battle in the first Matrix- as well as all the punches.

The latest LFE demo of the year is:-

Terminator Salvation from 00:38 onwards the petrol station scene

Rock the house and massage your body by the couch :p

I gave in, and watched a bit of Salvation this weekend. Even with my crap Sony sub, things were rocking. I fear what a real sub would do with this movie. Oh, and it's actually better on second viewing--just need some time to actually sit down and watch the rest.

Finally watched Kung Fu Panda. Man there was more LFE than not in that movie.

Yeah, I remember that one "I love Kung FUUUUUUUU!!!".

I also like The Dark Knight because whenever Batman punches someone in the gut, they throw in LFE. So there's lots of LFE in that one, ha ha.

I have been saying that for a long time around here . The latest thing that I have heard that can kick some serious LFE ass is the special feature on Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray called Dragon Encounter.

Gotta agree with Terminator Salvation for some house rocking LFE's. The battle at the 7-Eleven made the dishes in my kitchen rattle.

Opening scene of Star Wars Attack of the Clones when Amidala's ship is flying in. Got some decent rumble there as well.

I have to give a shout out to the cave scene in 'Ironman'. After all it kicked off the whole debacle with my EP800 in style. When an EP800 has problems with a scene, you know there's some serious LFE going on boys and girls!

Also, being a big Quentin Tarantino fan, I can tell you that LFE lurks ominously around in his soundtracks. The chase scene in 'Resevior Dogs' where the cops are running down Mr. Pink and as he turns the corner he unloads his entire clip into their general direction... turn that scene up when the old lady isn't paying attention and she'll hit the deck trying to escape the burglar who just broke into your home and opened fire on her!!!

I found the beginning scene in Serenity (FireFly) has enough LFE to pop my old ep350. It is the scene which convinced me I needed to upgrade to the 500.

I think it only had problems with that scene because it had problems with the amp design, as we have found out. My PB13 has no difficulty with those scenes But you are correct the cave scene is a great demo scene.
