Ok,
I have to admit that I've listened to this disc nearly 7 times straight through (not all in one sitting mide you). It has reached a definate high on my list of must have DVD-A's, and will become a principal test disc when I audition more gear (mwahahaha...i so need help)
This is definatly one...if not THE most base intensive discs I have heard. (Granted I"m still looking for a copy of the DVD-A version of the Telarc recording the the 1812 ovature...). I dont have a single movie that competes with it. Not Jurassic Park I/II/III, not the Fifth Element (although I will admit that I dont have the superbit version of T5E...so no DTS), Not SWE1, not Saving Private Ryan, NOTHING shakes my apartment like BMG-Audio.
Track 3 scared my cat to death, she hid under my bed for an hour the first time it was on. 5 just about cracked a window pane (I'm not joking, I live in an older apartment with REALY old windows that have a "putty calk" around them. The bass was great enough that it jarred the calk of of one of the windows and left it vibrating viloently untill I taped it down.) Tracks 3,4,5, and 10 had the woofers in my Paridigms bouncing back and forth more then Anna Nichole Smith on a bronco.
And for those of you who like to search for some "extra" content switch over to the DVD video side and cue up the "speaker placement" feature...wait till the end for a good laugh. Then check out the "Recent Technology" feature, and finaly, cue up the track called "Cat Video" (no.12 I think)...don't turn off the TV, jsut let it run for a minute and you'll get a nice little treat.
Have I mentioned I highly reccomend this disc as a great piece of Demo material. Buy it now.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA-(good lord do I ever need help)
