Opinions on the ulitmate dvd demo...

I finally found the Superman DVD after going to 4 different shops! After making a few adjustments so that I could hear my sub with my HT system, I finally got to listen and wow! I don't think there's much else that has anywhere near that amount of bass as in the first 20 minutes of that movie. It had the hairs on my cat standing up because she couldn't figure out what was going on! I'm sure the neighbors were thrilled as well! That is definitely is a fun dvd to play around with.

Ellery and SD, thanks for the feedback. I wish we had a Scarecrow Video out here in the SF bay area, but unfortunately, most all of the smaller independent shops closed down because they couldn't compete with the chains. I tried looking for some of the music dvd's that were suggested, but I think I'll have to order online. I currently have a lot of time on my hands since my company was nice enough to put me on a long term (well, more like permanent) vacation!

Thanks - all of your feedback defintely made this a worthwhile post! Cheers!

Best demo disc is one of those set-up utility disks. I think its called Ultimate DVD; it has DD vs DTS comparisons and helpful tips on set up. The coolest feature is the demo of a Harley Davidson starting up, then driving around the room. WOW!!! Make sure the neighbors as well as any wife and children are gone!!!

Here are some of my favorite dvds that I like to demo my sytem with.

1. The Matrix Scenes 15, 29, and the end of 31 the bullett dodging scene.
2 U-571 deep tones throughout the film
3. The 13th Warrior the last battle scene
4. Toy story 2 opening scene is just awsome
5. The Patriot great movie for showing off those surrounds

These are all good demos. Just a couple more that I like is: Terminator2 Fight seen in the bar and getting on the Harley(listen to the shotgun and the shell fall). Also I always demo SPEED when tweeking my system, scene where they race to the building and then in the elevator shaft going down to check out the elevator bomb. Listen to the echo in the shaft as they talk.
