Ok I just started watching this, I had to unplug alot of stuff to get my Home Theater preamp working (a pain) ---

And I turned off my subwoofer while doing this...and I forgot to turn it back on

and I didnt realize I had turned it off until I went over there to check to make sure it was still on! Heck even the sweep 120-20hz was powerful!

My how I like Definitive! :p

Now...I'ma go turn on my subwoofer and watch this all over again! LOL

VR3

11-13-2004, 04:30 PM

There was a definite improvement in the bass quality and how deep it would extend. However I still can't get over how well the Definitives performed alone! LOL

And The Matrix definetely gets my vote with the most slam, I didnt watch all of these scenes since I have seen alot of them before. That Shaolin Soccer or w/e, I'm gonna have to check that out being the soccer nut I am!

PS: The Terminator sequence seemed kinda compressed, not alot of bass or treble in that scene at all...

Also, thank you very much for sending this to me! Will the next person on the list please PM Me your address and I will ship this out to you sometime next week!

Thanks agaiN!

Haha, I just got through watching the Bass Mekanic scenes, there was things in the bathroom shaking...LOL

Hey Thug,
Question for you. I have a friend named ....uh John. He goes to a Klipsch Audio forum. There is this guy passing out a tweeter demo disc.;) My friend Jim wants to know if he could make a copy of this disc before he sends it to the next person. I, of course, have lectured him on the moral and legal ramifications but Joe would sure like to know if he will ruin the disc by copying it. Thanks Jerry's friend

PolkThug

11-15-2004, 06:15 PM

In theory, I suppose if someone makes a copy of a tweeter demo disc, that is their business. Then it is their responsibility to keep it 'isolated' from any sort of 'trouble'. (ie not spreading it around and letting it multiply like tribbles)

Truly one the greatest aural/visual sequences in all of film. This scene blew me away the first time I saw it, and it will be the first scene I test when I hook up my PB 10 (coming soon).

A great list overall, by the way. Thanks for sharing.

Its here!!!:D :D

Thanks Sid and of course Thug. Things should be shakin' tonight.

I got a chance to do a quick demo last night and noticed that the video kept stopping and starting. Is this expected with the way it was created? The disc was loose in the case when it got here but I noticed no damage. I believe every thing is Ok from a equipment standpoint. I will try agin this evening with a little more time on my hands. Thanks for the setup disc, it was a nice bonus. opus

11-26-2004, 07:30 PM

Picked up the disk from opus tonight. I put it in to see if it worked ok (it did, but chapter skip does not work, it is like it is changing titles, not chapters) Play appeard smooth.

I did not get much of a chance to see or hear anything before my daughter (5 years old) informed me "I don't like this movie, I want to pick another one" So now I am wondering what else is on the disk since I am not overly interested in what Dora and Boots will find in the large yellow egg.:rolleyes:

Thanks so much for putting this together (and for the setup disk) I will play with it for a few days and report back with how it goes before sending it on.

As an added bonus I only live about 20-30min from Opus. Always nice to meet another polkie.... :)

Wait till your families are gone and play those Bass Mekanic songs...

That is the LOUDEST and HARDEST HITTING bass I have ever heard and seen! There was stuff in the bathroom rattling in the bathtub...

Just insane amounts of bass...

PolkThug,

Ok done. Again "Sweet", thanks for making me part of this.

I can say that 40 Hz - 0 Hz is a bit scary with my sub. ;) Somewhere around the lower end it actually gets LOUDER.

Other then that, who's next? I thought it was Faster100? He's off the list now can someone clear that up for me.

Pines

12-16-2004, 08:51 AM

Will someone E-mail me when it's time to fess up the address? I'm not too sure how we are sending this around.

Come to think of it, I'm going to need to get put toward the bottom of the list - I'll be around until Christmas, but then I'll be gone until after the 1st of the year as well -
Maybe someone can E-mail me when it's my turn?
Or I'll revisit and get on the list after the 1st.......

Well I for one, won't copy a whole movie or music CD for that matter. I think it's wrong to copy an artist work to hand to some one else, the artist needs to be paid for his or hers work.

Now saying that I did enjoy a couple scenes on that Demo disk, but if anything it made me think about renting or buying that DVD to see the whole thing.

This in return makes me spend more $ on DVD then I would not have done before. So I think others should be on the bandwagon to promote theirs HT setups, big boys (Tweeter, CC, BB and others) should be doing this it sad that other don't think like this.

If you change the "search mode" on your DVD player to "title" instead of "track", you can easily navigate through the segments. Just stumbled onto this last night. :D
