Try Titan AE Ice Field, Toy Story II intro, Star Wars Bubble, T2 THX

calibrated to 85dB, others to 85dB, in a 4m x 4m room, normal listening
level at -20dB. Not really the fault of the Rel, just LFE + re-directed
5.0 bass is recorded so damn hot that unless you sub overkill yourself
you'll just hear distortion. For 95% of films it's good, no problem with
music or concert DVD's, but if it sounds ****e for that last action
movies of 5% it's worth changing for (or using THX Sub Peak limitor to
limit the maximum possible output regardless of master volume) Brothers
Yamaha bottomed out in Star Wars Bubble. God that sounded ****e :-)


What is this Star Wars Bubble you speak of?
