nube Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I liked the bass, but it killed one of my amps! The story was pretty meh, but the visuals are spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylinderMonster Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 We watched Maleficent last night. Thumbs up, especially the superb Blu-Ray AQ and PQ. This movie is absolutely gorgeous to look at and great to hear. Lots of effective use of multi-channel surround. I have seen no measurements, but the bass was noticeable and enjoyable, particularly during battle scenes. Not a life changer, but your subs will definitely get some exercise. Overall, we thought the PQ, AQ and special effects in Maleficent are Disney at its modern best. Give it a spin if you're on the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan611 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just finished. Really liked it, will have to rewatch when my son isn't napping; overall, even at lower volume, it sounded great. I could defiantly see a few scenes that would be great at higher volume.

Aj72 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Solid four stars for me but I'm a bit like Nube with regards to the story. Audio overall was pretty good and had some nice bass moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiofan1 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Excellent LFE reproduction and stunning sound design. I rented this but will buy, I voted 4 but it's a high 4 say 4.75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SME Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 This is the first movie I've run since I installed some acoustic treatments. I settled on "-5" for the level. I judged the LFE to be a bit weak in level and dynamics but was otherwise extended and well designed. The soundtrack as a whole was very good. I experienced a degree of immersion that I don't recall feeling since childhood movie experiences. Admittedly, my opinion isn't worth much since the room treatments are so new and clearly transformed my system's sound in a very positive way. The movie was ok and a lot better than I expected, being Disney after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmercy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Room treatments are a game changer. They truly can transform a listening experience. The greatest speakers in the world will sound like crap in an empty gymnasium or racquetball court. JSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
