just got my 2nd pair yesterday! They are sweet.
I was surprised at some of the surround effect in Jarassic Park III. One in particualr (i played it bac k a few times) is at the very begining when the plane flys by. It literally feels like it goes right through you .... definate Wow factor for company.

There's a scene in Monsters Inc. ("23-19" or something like that) where the monster steps out of the closet in the scare factory with a child's sock stuck to his back. Great effects throughout the scene but especially nice with the QS8's when the helicopter flies overhead.
If you like music then there are some great concert DVD's that make you feel like you are sitting in the middle of the crowd (without the risk of someone spilling a beer on you, unless you have a clumsy spouse or roommate that is! ![](/boards/images/icons/wink.gif) ). My favorite right now is REM's Perfect Square Live. Great stuff. Turn out the lights, turn up the sound, and enjoy the show.

So I've asked in another thread. I have the QS4's and have been thinking about moving up to the 8's. Room is about 22 x 30 with half of it being used for HT, the other for a pool table. The 4's sound good but would it be worth movingup to the 8's? Right now the 4's are mounted to a wall 4 feet back from the listening area about 6 .5 feet up. Would I notice a major change by going to the 8's?

Indepedence Day - Special Edition.
Older movie, but hell, the opening credits break apart and swoosh by you in surround, and there's more bass in that movie then.....I don't know what, like come on 8 buildings blow up in the span of 5 minutes

soundtrack wise: Pulp Fiction- the seperation of music and dialouge will awe your mind!
Effect wise: Proabaly any Star Wars (which really means I and II) until about 20 days from now!!!!!
Effect Wise again: Savin Private Ryan- the opening is mind blowing
I could go on and on and on
any movie!! LOL

After a weekend of listening, all I can say is WOW. Hearing things I've never heard out of my surrounds. I wasn't expecting a WOW factor since these are "just surrounds" but ...WOW.
So far, my favorite surround scene, is in The Matrix, when they go to retrieve Neo's body in the Pod?? Anyway, there's a TON of surrounds going on.
Can't wait to get those M60's next!!!!

After watching some of the MAtrix and (boooos) being let down a bit
i realized it was not DTS or THX
I looked through my colection and knw Gladiator was DTS- WOW!
Then I went to the store yesterday and my wife wanted MAtrix 3 and i wanted Xmen2 (DTS)
I got neither in protest! LOL
i will go back today and get XMEN2- I hope the flick itself is alittle better than the first.
or should I go Laura croft 2 ?
any ideas?
still any DTS is sure to be killer

i have not seen the XMEN2, but have been told it is better than the first movie. i have never seen lara croft 2, so i cant comment on that.
BUT, i will say that any title with DTS will sound better than most. i definitely prefer it over all other movie audio formats. i lot of discs are being 'remastered' in the DTS format for the 'collector' or 'anniversary' disc. so make sure you look close at the store, or when you shop on line.. to me, it makes all the difference in the world.
