  • 2+ weeks until first run....

    So....

    I ordered the SHO-10 and 18.T "forum only" packages, as well as a few other speakers.

    What movie to play first?

    Short list:

    Master and Commander
    Star Trek
    The Dark Knight
    Hunt for Red October

    Inception

    EDIT: I'm bored with this game Auburn is going to win....and wondered what would give me a great showing of the range of the new system? 720p projector...

      Try How To Train Your Dragon if you have not heard it yet it has an outstanding sound track. For music The Police Certifiable will put a smile on your face and your new subs will definitely thump you in the chest with this one!

        My vote goes to Dark Knight - even without a pj or screen, I keep running the first 10 minutes to test audio any time I tweak something, or just when I want to put a smile on my face. =)

        P.s. No knee down? WTF?

          I've started doing the same, one of my demo disks now :) The shotgun blasts are hard hitting a sharp. Explosions are explosive without being boomy or bloated. Great start to a movie and great demo disk!

          I always do the Cave Troll scene from Lord of the Rings 1.

              Dark Knight, for sure.

              Boring game to some, but surely not to me. It was heart stopping. I was (and still am) so keyed up last night that I have had, maybe, 4 hours sleep.

              Roasted duck sure tastes good.

                Pretty solid game, better than I figured it would be. Tested out the new popcorn maker, we got a winner.

                Dual all the way baby!

                Yeah, I can't believe his knee wasn't down. Bravo for Dwyer to keep running, but man, left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the game.

                SEC obviously rules all. And Dark Knight is an amazing piece of work...top of the list.

                  I haven't tried that scene as a demo! I'm partial to the Sauron explosion in the prologue.

                      Terminator Salvation is awesome!! Even the opening credits hit pretty hard.

                      Personally, I get my fix with "Master and Commander" . I work 4/12's so there's little time to watch movies. As soon as my first day off comes... in it goes. Then everything is ok again.:yes:

                          Yeah, I've read through that a few times. Good thread...was just wondering what movie people thought would be good for the "whole experience"!

                            I rented "Ninja Assassin" on DVD this weekend. I am not sure, but I think in one scene, I bottomed my MFW-15 for the first time ever. :dizzy::rock:

                              You even have the "turbo" upgrade, right?
