OMG it finally came!, my first surround system! - Blu-ray Forum

pitabun · 08-13-2008, 07:30 PM

OMG it just came in!!!!!

My first surround audio receiver and speakers for my lovely 46" XBR2.

- Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver

- Klipsch Synergy Series Quintet III 5-Piece Home Theater Speakers (purchased a couple days ago and set it up)

- Sony SA-W3000 Performance Line 12" 180-Watt Subwoofer

I can't believe my .1 costs $200!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO GO HOME!

What movie do you recommend for my first surround experience?

First of all, CONGRATS! From the look of your setup, sounds like it'll be great!

Don't forget to buy all the right cables!!!

I recommend watching Cloverfield on Blu-Ray.

aramis109 · 08-13-2008, 07:34 PM

I'd try and find a 7.1 flick personally.

Otherwise Cloverfield, Doomsday, Master and Commander are some good choices.

Why he doesn't have 7.1?

Casino Royale. Cars. Pirates 3 (the 'Good Business' chapter).

Good show man ! It won't matter what you listen to. If this is your first surround system EVERYTHING will sound kick ass ! You might have to have a blow out movie fest. Plus some concert blu's are a must as well !!!

+1, Cloverfield sounds great!

grats. Make sure you get it properly set up and calibrated!
The best sound, just like the best image, has to be carefully fine tuned. If the placement is off, the sound will be off. If the volumes are unbalanced, you will hear it.

alkalinesi · 08-13-2008, 08:45 PM

disbthai · 08-13-2008, 10:39 PM

I demand pictures!!!

johnarnold101 · 08-13-2008, 11:01 PM

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think after you get it all set up and watch your first movie......if you can pull yourself away long enough to let us know. Pictures would be good.

darkpoet25 · 08-13-2008, 11:21 PM

Nice set up. Close Encounters has a great DTS-MA soundtrack, especially the ending sequence with the Mother Ship. I also recommend: Underworld, Lost Season 3, i,Robot, Black Hawk Down, Signs, and Twister.(great sound, so-so picture quality. damn Warner and their DNR)

And thats before he even gets to watch a Blu-Ray! lol

I know it took me a long time to get everything just right. It wasn't the hardware that took the longest time, but calibrate everything just so it sounded just right in my setup.

nward · 08-13-2008, 11:25 PM

nice setup, i was actually looking at that surround set earlier this week at best buy. please send a post to how it sounds =)

zweet77 · 08-13-2008, 11:33 PM
