Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions I think I heard my VP150 strain last night...

May I recommend a cup of strong coffee?

You need some of Big John's Free Spirit Chile.....
No offense intended John.
My wife is after me to try out your recipe.
Maybe for the Superbowl?
Apologies for the thread hijack....

flip: I know what scene you are talking about, and it's the recording that is at fault, not the speaker. You will probably notice this on a few other DVD's as well (The Fifth Element comes to mind) especially with the revealing nature of the VP-150. On a side note, make sure your audio is properly calibrated by using DVE, VE, or the S&VHTT DVD's and an SPL meter from RS.

Ok, the scene is right at 37:25:
"...If you can't take it..."
& 37:32:
"...I can take anything you can dish out."

They just dove under water in the airplane and the conversation (obviously) is taking place in the cockpit; overall, their conversation during that scene sounds kinda "canned", I guess you could say.
Is that the scene you thought I was talking about, minirock?
Can anyone else confirm this??

Also, I have my system calibrated w/an SPL meter, but I used my receiver's internal test tones.

Right, it is when Joe says,"Can't" and Polly says. "I." Even at a lower volume it was noticable.

Dude, that's exactly where it is!
Well, that makes me feel a lot better....Thank you very much, Minirock.
I'm glad it wasn't the VP150, but at the same time, it's kinda sad that a DVD of supposed ref audio quality still has it's imperfections. Nothing is perfect, I guess. On the other hand, we watched Diana Krall's Live in Paris and the vocals were nothing short of awe-inspiring- a must have IMHO for demo'ing this center (along w/David Gilmour In Concert Live DVD. )

No problem man!
