    Tripped a breaker in a power strip I used once or twice. It was on the EoT opening at pretty high SPL. I have a ton of amps on a 15amp circuit though.

    Yikes! Iron Man looks insane with those settings.
  3. Infrasonic
    About time! Awesome news!
  4. Infrasonic
    Very good.

    Hey, John. Sorry if I came off inflammatory about the ratings. I don't mean to be. I just wanted to make it clear that there is a discrepancy between a 5star extension and 1star just by a couple of blips. You know that I know how hard you worked on this system and I don't fault you. Is it perfect? No. Though I don't have that kind of expectation either. I guess just ignore my earlier comments.

    Fury looks pretty good. Ignoring some extra heft in the 30-40hz range it actually is well extended to 20hz at which point it rolls off. 1 star? Ugh. So...movies graphed here for bass.... Flatness to the single digits? Good!!! Movies with a steady or pronounced rolloff from 30hz and then have a huge peak at 1-2hz? Not very useful or exciting in anyway. We really need to rethink the way this stuff is classified.
  7. Infrasonic
    Exactly. I wonder often if the way some categories are rated needs some rethinking. A quick glance at the PvA for Equalizer shows it is very well extending in bass but gets a '2' in extension. Others like Lone Survivor get a '5' yet show that it rolls off ~30hz but with a couple of handful of high intensity effects skew the whole rating. Anymore I have to ignore the number rating for these movies and have to go off the PvA (as I always have).
  8. Infrasonic
    You're right. I'd need some ported subs, I think. Right?
  9. Infrasonic
    That's what I meant. And... I know. ULF is great. I've got that down pretty well, actually.
  10. Infrasonic
    You got it, John. People need to hang up the "this was highpassed for the lowest common denominator, people with HTiB's." Nope. Nobody in the production is even thinking about them. Those systems always have hardcore limiters anyway. No, they are monitoring on a typical cinema system. The bottom end is ~30hz hence why we see so many movies with the most energy around there. It's also a very impressive sounding frequency range. Effects don't all have natural ULF in them. That's why they are called 'effects'. They are not real. While they might derive from real sounds they are also heavily modified and synthesized. The person creating the SFX might knock out the ULF because of extraneous noise, rumble and such. Obviously this isn't always the case as we do get some real low hitters every once in a while.

    Marc doesn't pro-actively use filters. That doesn't mean it will have a flat ULF response.
  12. Infrasonic
    Yeah. My Super Stuff is the best!

    The PaleHorn

    Infrasonic replied to Ricci's topic in Bass Gear

    Very cool, Josh. I've been waiting to see the Palehorn come about for some time now. It's unfortunate that this will not be a shared plan but after reading about the system and the integration with the IPAL amp/dsp system I totally get it.

    I also have a WT2 that I have never used.

    AVS members get the $999, akaik. You just have to post that you are an AVS member when purchasing.
  16. Infrasonic
    John. This is an excellent post. I wish it could be auto-posted here and over at AVS once a week, every week. Ummm... Let's just say I am working on this. At least to the best of my ability.
  17. Infrasonic
    ^^^^^^ That would be interesting. All of it.
  18. Infrasonic
    Truth. It is frustrating that all the big stuff get's the chop. But we do know why... Bigger, louder.
  19. Infrasonic
    Definitely not. I don't know where this started or why it continues to live on ....like small drivers having faster bass. They mix to the standards of typical cinemas. Mains with dual 15's or better, often not bass managed (until very recently and often with newer installs) with extension on their own to 30-40hz. Surrounds with far less extension also not commonly bass managed. Then there is the bass system often of which is 2-4 18's or better and those are almost always tuned in the ~30hz region. This is the standard for cinema. This is what is mixed to except maybe for near field which is more like studio monitors. Btw, HTiB systems, like any brand name product, is packed in with self protection limiters of all sorts. They have to make them idiot proof. Now I'm not saying nobody has ever broken a small cheap HTiB system but it's not like it's happening left and right. Nobody with a HTiB watches BHD for good reason. Ugh.

    Nice topic! Good selection of sustained bass all over in frequency in here. Great stuff!
  21. Infrasonic
    And they sound incredible at my house.
  22. Infrasonic
    Yeah. His stuff is pretty hit and miss. FE will live on as a Sci-fi classic and it deserves it. But... yeah by todays standards it's pretty weak on bass. It did come out in like 96-97' though so that's just how it was.
  23. Infrasonic
    Oh wow! Hey, thanks for doing FE. Bout time I saw what this guy was all about (in the bass) after all these years.
  24. Infrasonic
    Ahhh.. Interesting take, JSS.
  25. Infrasonic
    To put it another way... Look at the PvA for Avengers. Then look again at Frozen. Which one would you say has a filter applied?
