Reefdvr27 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I think EXP 3 is pretty legit with reguards to LFE.... I read over at AVS that EXP3 had a really good sound track and good bass. I picked it up yesterday. I will get to it by the end of the weekend.

Audiofan1 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah E3's bass was great and had an awesome mix as well! I'm willing to bet the Atmos embedded discs when done right will contain some of the best mixes going forward as this baby shows you don't need to over do it like T4 and no I'm not Atmos equipped! but these mixes are very impressive to say the least.

Shredhead Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Expendables 3: Here are some Sub out loops with re-directed bass starting at 90Hz. I only focused on chapters 14 and 15. For an action flick this one came correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain Infliction Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Does anybody have the measurements of the opening scene of Edge of Tomorrow? That scene was super loud as reported, but really wanted to see the chart on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmercy Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 You must remember all of this is done in our spare time...and it takes time to measure, post, update polls/threads, etc. You must forgive us if we wanted to spend Thanksgiving with our families and not just updating this site. Unlike the reviewers at Blu-Ray.com and AVS, we do not get paid to write reviews nor to measure films. If nube doesn't have Exp3 measured already, I may be able to get to it this weekend. No promises, though. Busy building 8 bass traps for the theater. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoney Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Please. I meant ZERO disrespect by that. I meant no one is even posting at all I know what you do is in your spare time and appreciate every second of what you do. I'm sorry it came off that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 No offense taken, I just thought people were waiting for measurements. I think folks will post when there is more to post about. Those graphs from Shreadhead are great, and pretty much show that Exp3 is the real deal. Lack of posts doesn't bother me as much as too many posts that say essentially nothing. JSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harro Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Long time lurker and first post. I recently came across a Korean movie called "The Terror Live" and thought I had great bass. I just don't know how low it goes. It shook everything in my room violently, but then again I do not have the amount of woofage some of you do. Two 18" sealed in 4ft box and 2 svs PB12 Plus. If anyone has this movie I would be interested in your comments or thoughts about it. The move as a whole I liked but need to read subtitle in English, which is not the worst.

tuxedocivic Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks so much max. I actually haven't purchased this yet. I was waiting on the number. Yep, I'm basically not going to buy a blu ray until it's been validated here, if its a movie meant to have bass. But the other part of my buying habits is the rental thing. This is very frustrating. It makes me want to not buy this movie and rent it instead. But this is a movie I will let that slide on. I hope the studios realize that when they rip off the rental track, it has literal zero motivation for me purchasing the movie. It actually discourages purchased. Thanks for the thumbs up, I'll go buy it now. First I'll run it by the wife to make sure it isn't already in my stocking. That what happened with edge of tomorrow BTW, I think the studios should throw some free discs your way for review pre-release date. Then maybe from there they could start paying you as I really believe you guys help people make purchasing decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigen Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is there a difference graph for War of the Worlds and Battle Los Angeles dvd vs blu ray levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Not sure, I have only measured BD. With other films, there can be a noticeable difference between BD and DVD, e.g. Master & Commander. Tux, thanks for the props! JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy: (DTS-HDMA 7.1) Level - 3 Stars (109.39dB composite) Extension - 3 Stars (18Hz) Dynamics - 5 Stars (28.7dB) Execution - 4 Stars (by poll)Overall - 3.75 StarsRecommendation - Buy (by poll) Looks like this one got the Avengers/Thor treatment. But unlike Thor which suffers from horrible clipping, this one is soft-limited with clipping instances very few and far between, preserving information that would have been clipped harshly away.

Shredhead Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Looks like this one got the Avengers/Thor treatment. That's disappointing, I really had high hopes that they wouldn't filter that one. Thanks for posting it Max. On a different note, look at the heat from the new Star Wars teaser... there's not even any explosions yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigen Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is that trailer from itunes? The Jurassic World trailer on the other hand starts sloping at 40Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Kamp Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 The latest Transformers getting a 5 for execution is a joke. Personally I think since nube and max are doing all the measurements and are competent, if they deem significant clipping or compression the execution should be given a -1 from the executions final vote, or be given a max of 4 from the start of voting. IMHO a heavily clipped or compressed track is in no way deserving of a perfect for execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 While I agree with that statement, it is the only category that is subjective. One person's clipped/compressed mess is another's 'awesome'. I used to like Thor until I watched it a few times. Now the clipping in it stands out horribly. Having better HF response is both good and bad.... The BassEQ process helps with the clipping, by turning the square-ish waves into more sawtooth-y waves. It still is no match for a mix properly done, but it helps. JSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
