3:10 to Yuma is 7.1 I was testing the last scene where the train comes at the end.

Good luck chuck is also 7.1 but i haven't tested it.

300 has some great surround sound especially when it comes to the rear speakers.

btf1980 · 03-04-2008, 10:30 PM

Reference Audio Discs imo

Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Live Free or Die Hard
The Fifth Element
30 Days of Night

Shoot Em' Up
Casino Royale
The Descent (The first hour or so is mostly dialogue driven, but the last hour is great)

Definitely the Fifth Element...Great sound that comes through all speakers. Make sure to get the remastered edition though

Die Hard 4. Just watched it again and it sounds amazing.

Underworld.

Shoot em up so cool

depends on what kinda 'sound' you want to hear from them.

do you want the bullets ablazing sound? or the more subtle effects that 'broaden' the soundstage?

i always use master and commander as my point of reference, first chapter.

Marcusarilius · 03-05-2008, 12:08 AM

Blade Runner.

ManUtd · 03-05-2008, 12:27 AM

I like Black Hawk Down and DH4 for audio demos.

depooter · 03-05-2008, 12:52 AM

any great demos (provide the chapter or section of the film) that use great rear directional effects?

saprano · 03-05-2008, 12:57 AM

pirates or the carribean 2. you can literaly hear the creaks on the ships. it blows my mind.
