Awesome stuff Max. Is there an export function out of SL? Never knew that if so...Looks like you are importing this into Excel or OO? Anyway really cool. Make sure that you do the movie 9 if you get a chance. I don't think it will best some of the super heavyweights but i expect it will earn it's 5 stars. Another good one would be The Hurt Locker. BTW I brought the attachments limit to Kyle's attention last night. He is going to look into it when he gets a chance (He is closing on a new home so you know how that is. Might take a few days.) Sorry about that. We will get it fixed.

I asked Kyle but he hasn't gotten back to me on this. I am stuck with the same problem myself. I will contact him again.

Awesome stuff guys...I like what you have going there Max. Hopefully I will be able to contribute at some point but I don't know when that will be. It was nice to meet you today Larry and Dominguez1 as well. I hope you enjoy the sub. Again if you have any questions or problems hit me up. Don't forget to take the handles off.

Objectively it would be nice if the ratings could involve the peak and average hold graph. Average would give a look at how much total bass is in the movie and the peak gives a look at how loud it maxes out at. Extension should be looked at as well. Also the best 3 or 4 demo type parts should be charted.

That sounds like it should work. I am doing essentially the same thing. I just don't have Soho's disc. Matter of fact I haven't heard from him in a long time now. I like by octave.

NOT CURRENTLY FOR SALE! 3 LMS Ultra 5400's.

BTW back when I messed with SL last I was setting it up to clip at what would be the worst case scenario for 5.1 of 123.5dB (rounding up a bit) You will never see this signal but it ensures that you don't hit that one movie where all of a sudden you have to readjust everything. The way i went about this was to use the pink noise calibration from my receiver run into SL and knowing it was -48.5dB from the hottest signal that could be seen or 75dB. Just leave yourself 50dB of headroom from the pink noise and you know you will never run into clipping. You will have to factor in what your normal volume level for doing the graphs will be and adjust accordingly for that as well. Nobody listens at REF all the time except for maybe MK.

Dave, You got me. I am NOT the guy to ask about any of the internet or website stuff. That would be Kyle. Kyle see Dave's question about the image coding,etc.

Dave you make a really good point. Things need to be standardized and relative for easy comparison. Otherwise it becomes a nightmare to decipher. Sure there will be bitching about what the standard is or could or should be, but that is expected. As long as it all is the same at least easy comparisons can be made and things are relative. I like the template from CITW above. IMO the spectrum window, input waveform and peak and long term graphs are all good information. It would be great to have the total average and peak results from each movie along with detailed captures from the top 3 or so select scenes. Max I'm sorry but in order to keep posting here you are going to have to use some sort of snazzy avatar pic. You have 11 days and 22 hrs to get that rectified.

I've used a bunch of amps for bass over the years...Let's see. Mackie M1400i (Bought this guy in 96 I believe. My first pro amp and it just had a channel blow. Get this, it was being used on a JBL compression driver at the time. Figures .) I think the HF may have actually killed it. Can't really complain after getting 15+ years out of it. Need to pick up something to replace it but I'm not decided on what yet. Behringer EP4000's (Still have 2) Crown CE4000's (Sold) Crest 8002's (Still have 4 of these.) QSC PL9.0's (Sold) AETechron 7560's (Sold) Powersoft K10's (Sennheiser KPA2400's) I've used a bunch of stuff off and on over the years that I didn't own as well. Tons of Crest, Crown, QSC, Samson, Mackie, Ashly, plate amps, etc...I don't have a lot of experience with consumer amps other than some Adcoms, Emotiva's and NAD's and I never tried them seriously on bass duties. Some were good some not so good. The PL9.0's were really powerful but they were prone to blowing up randomly plus they were loud as hell with 4 fans in each. Bang for the buck it is still difficult to top the EP's. The 8002's are great, just a little better than the CE4000's were but they are big and heavy. The ridiculous award goes to the 7560's they were beasts. They weren't the most powerful but you could strap them together and literally weld with them and they wouldn't complain. They got really hot though and at basically 100lbs each they really just weren't practical.They were also amazingly well engineered and perfectly operating after 30 years of use. Not many products are built like that anymore. They were obviously an industrial tool not a mass produced commodity item. My favorite amp is the rebadged Powersoft K10's. At first I was skeptical about all of the claims but I'm firmly a believer now. Plugs into anything between 95-265v, PFC, 95% efficient, 1 rack space, 200v peak output per channel, password protected user control interface, less than 30lbs, relatively quiet squirrel cage fans and protected from just about every sort of load or ac supply issue. Unfortunately they are just bloody awful expensive. I never would have bought them if I didn't get such an insane deal at the right time. I can't seem to find anything comparable for cheaper either. I need a couple of the newer lightweight DSP amps but every one of the cost effective ones has something about it that bothers me. I should probably just buy a couple of the 4 channel clones but the blatant rip off aspect bugs me truthfully. Generally I look for the following... 1.) PFC it really helps boost the efficiency and drag the current out of even a weak circuit. 2.) Universal Voltage supply. This is a major plus for me. Combined with PFC it means you can get the maximum out of whatever circuit is available and you are virtually guaranteed to have a compatible circuit. 3.) High efficiency topology, again relates to less heat, weight and more power 4.) extended response (No 10-15Hz filters please. I can add them myself if I need them.) 5.) Warranty & Cost 6.) Internal DSP (If needed, I don't yet consider this a must) From there I start looking at things that I consider of less concern. Weight, size, cosmetics, fan noise, connectors, input sensitivity,etc. Obviously looking at my priorities versus DS-21's for example, there are some differences. I don't think that I have a single RCA cable involved in my main HT. Everything is xlr or hdmi. Everyone's priorities are different. I do pro audio type things often so those are these types of amps that I gravitate towards. I am starting to become interested in some of the plate amps on the market. Speakerpower and Pascal in particular. I wish that there were a little more user control and functionality in some of the cheaper plate amps. Hopefully DSP will start to be included more. It'd be nice if there was a 1000w plate that has user configurable DSP with boost and configurable / defeatable high pass filter for $500 ish...
