    I can't remember off the top of my head where, but some scenes in Master and Commander are pretty ridiculous for both impact and little nuances...

      "War of the worlds" when the aliens come up out of the ground!!. OMG.....my daughter was asleep upstairs at the time and I'm sure her bed was vibrating and rolling across the floor from the utterly unbelievable low bass frequencies from that scene !!.

        Second is maybe "Ice age" when the squirrel cracks the ice at the beginning causing a chain reaction of terror !!.

            Excellent Music DVD for Showing Off Your AV System
            by bigburner
            All of us get asked to demo our systems at some time. We all like to put on a good show, especially if it’s for someone who really knows their stuff.

            The best music DVD that I own for showing off my system is Eric Clapton’s “Sessions For Robert J”. This DVD, which was recorded in 2004,...

            TOS-link or Digital Coax?
            by Rock Dog
            Of course most people think that by nature an optical cable for your 5.1 or 2 channel audio is automatically best because it's "DIGITAL." But in this end of the market (the end this forum is built and based on.) I've seen more arguments against this thinking.

            What do you use?...

            My main impression at CEDIA this year, at least when it comes to projectors, was that it was mainly a repeat of last year’s show. I saw many of the same pieces trotted...

            Star Trek TOS Movie Blu-Ray set
            by impala454
            I recently bought the TOS original movie set on BD and have started watching them. I'll add to this post each time I watch another one to give a quick review. I think the set is a pretty good value ($80/6 BDs + bonus disc).
