Check out the movie "9". It has some great bass scenes in it.
I've got 9, haven't watched it yet. I have Ironman, and I have War of the Worlds and U-571 in my net fix queue (thought I owned these, but must have been rentals) per Alan's suggestions, so I should be good to go when the EP500 gets here. But alais, no shipping notice yet, ordered it last Thursday night. Oh well, I guess my room ain't going no where.

We just got the B/R version of "9" in the mail yesterday, we'll check it out tonight. "Flight of the Phoenix" (Dennis Quaid) has always been a favorite of mine for LFE.

While we are at it, can anyone recommend a do it yourself display/video calibration Disk/System. Last I checked/knew of a long while back, DVE & Avia(?) were the only game in town.
What's the new shampoo?
Thanks

Disclaimer - I have not used either of the following, but here is what I know. There is a B/R version of DVE, I don't know if it is easier to use than the earlier non-B/R version or not. The new kid on the video calibration front is a B/R disc by Spears & Munsil which you can get from Oppo or Amazon for $25. It is apparently well made and easy to use. You can learn more by checking their website - just google it. In addition Scott Wilkinson of hometheatermag.com and ultimateav.com now has a neat podcast of which one of the guests he interviewed are Spears and Munsil. FWIW

IIRC, the Spears & Munsil disc does not contain audio test tones.

Finding Nemo, Don't know why no one mentioned that one, the scene where the little girl is thumping on the fish tank in the dentist office.
That is probably the strongest bass that I have Ever herd.....

You know what I just discovered has great bass? Home Alone. That's right. The scene where Kevin is in the church has some organ music with nice low bass.

Is it so good that it makes you want to slap both your cheeks and scream?
