    Updated the STID post with a pic of the very obvious clipping at the 6:00 minute mark.  Almost every action sequence in the whole film looks like this in the LFE and the center channel.  It's noticeable as a very significant harshness or sharpness to CC effects, where they just sound bad, not clear and crisp like they should.

     

    Yeah thats what I heard alright. At the 1.52 mark fuses on my LR tweeters died. At a lowish -8db. Sounded like distorted highs to me. Painful to listen to.

    Inception:

     

    Level - 5 Stars (268.2dBHz)

    Extension - 4 Stars (11Hz)

    Dynamics - 5 Stars (30dB)

    Execution - 4 Stars - Maybe it was on purpose, but the LF use was just 'off' in this film.  There is great use of midbass at times, and this film brings the level, but the sound design is not conventional, esp in the dreamscapes.

     

    Overall - A solid 4.5 Stars

     

    Recommendation - Buy.  Terrific premise, and well done.  A little long for my tastes, but a good film.

     

     

    MaxRMS 117.9dB
    LeqZ 94.9dB
    MaxPeak 124.3dB
     

    Inception is, to my ears, one of the worst LFE tracks I have heard. The whole sub 80hz audio has a very distorted signature. perhaps its just me, but, I would give it a 1 or max 2 in the Execution category. Unless I misunderstood what that part is...

    First of, thank you to all contibutors to this thread. Much appreciated!

     

    Second. Im having a bit of problems understanding the rating system. Could someone clarify one small thing for me?

    The combined star rating is an average of level, extension, dynamics and execution.

    Now, level and extension I understand, the higher the amplitude and the lower the frequency, the better the score. Sounds reasonable.

    But, what about dynamics? This factor is the difference between Overall peak and Overall average. Now, wouldn’t that mean that in order to score a perfect score here the movie needs to be limited in the amount of time that there is action onscreen?

    Isn´t that the opposite of how a good bass movie should be rated?
