  1. I finally got round to reading the data on these - that's pretty crazy stuff They're a remarkable 'pre-loved' steal at $850 each!
  2. Oooh, I wasn't aware a new one was coming out! Will keep an eye out for it (On a side note, does Hollywood not have any new stories? lol)
  3. Awesome offers on these It's a shame there's a rather large pond in the way as I'm sure I could find the money and a home for the latter! Hmmm... I have one of these sitting in a small sealed boombox that used to be in a car... I wonder if I could make a small PPSL if I bought this one? I recall they sounded pretty good...
  4. That sounds like it could get expensive real quick... lol
  5. Looks like we need to get the new Atmos mix of Fifth Element measured - perhaps miracles might have happened!
  6. Errrrr... what? Srsly? I love that film but it sucks in the bass department compared to the stuff measured here.
  7. I finally got round to watching this tonight after I picked it up for cheap ages ago - I liked it, I liked it a lot. Excellent dynamics, had it up about -10, whereas I usually have it about -16, and the speech volume was spot on while the sound effects were suitably loud without being ridiculous. Great bass throughout and good use of the dynamic range, I will re-watch when I finally calibrate properly because some of the aircraft sounds were already weighty and I know I'm missing a lot of bottom end!
  8. Is it this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exam-Blu-ray-Region-Free-Mably/dp/B003AOUWYC If so, I think I'll pick one of the cheapies up secondhand
  9. That graph confuses me - how is there less compression at 10Hz than at 20Hz?
  10. I think infrasound is a rather unexplored area that deserves more attention - even back in ancient times, I believe that it was used to elicit an unusual physiological response: http://orkneyjar.com/history/tombs/tombacoustics.htm
  11. IIRC, the great Stephen Fry on QI stated that thumbs down meant that something was good in ye olden times lol (I may be wrong, though!) Either way, one more film to not hurry out and buy as a system test
  12. I love Super-8 as a film but bottom end is a letdown Will look forward to the Martian getting cheap so I can buy it! lol EDIT: Ooh, I forgot - I watched Automota the other night. Pretty good film and I liked the sound design. I don't think it's been measured yet (although I can't see the GoogleDocs spreadsheet on this laptop as, you know, I might be trying to give away all my workplace data so can't possibly be allowed to even look at a file sharing site ).
  13. I wish I could get my head round electricity I just have to file it under the section marked 'things that happen by magic' in my head
  14. Those XXXs are a steal at that price. Last time I saw them on Amazon they were going for $900+.
  15. Nice I'm going to see it at an IMAX - I've not been to this one before so hopefully it will be ok!
  16. Thanks for the graph and comments, it sounds promising! I can't believe any mastering studio has this sort of capability so kudos to the sound designer(s) for including it, knowing most will never play it back!
  17. Pardon my French, but fuck me, that's a lot of kit in that room... lol
  18. Just.... wow. That looks (and reads) like it is military-grade hardware!
