best dvds to test your surrounds
« on: Jul 18, 2008 at 10:54 AM »
i don't know if there is already an existing thread for this topic. as far as i browsed, we only have a thread for testing LFEs.

i find Stealth (the opening scene) a good one for surrounds. any others? :)

for animation...

definitely pixar's CARS...  ;D


on the race scenes, you can hear the cars coming from your back. and when they had the accident on the 1st race scene, you can hear the bouncing tires coming from the front going to the surrounds.  ;D ;D ;D

for animation:

Try, The Incredibles. There are several scenes with good surround sound to test and to warm up your surround speakers on this movie.
Like the scene where the plane piloted by Elasti-girl is being chased by air to surface missiles + family and enemy chasing scenes around the island. ;D
