Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 6.1 movies??

A couple of movies that I would recommend for good sound quality that are DTS, and/or have the 6.1 matrixing are:
- Gladiator - The first battle is very impressive.
- Star Wars Episode I - The pod racing scene really gives the sub a work out.
- Saving Private Ryan - This is DTS and all the battle scenes sound great.
- Castaway - The crash scene is good. Also, I like hearing how crisp the sound is when the waves are crashing against the shore. Very clean, almost like your there.

I have the Axiom mini system and I push them to their limits with these movies. I'm very impressed with these smaller speakers.

The crash scene in Castaway gives me the willies!!!

In addition to the recommendations made, U-571 has phenomenal sound.

As to the 6.1 issue, some receivers are capable of addressing the newer DTS 6.1 DISCRETE standard, but I've never seen any indication as to whether or not these DVD's are using a discrete or matrixed signal there.
