Scroll down to "
Has all the key SVS demo standards ready for you!" (about half way) for some reference scenes.
http://www.svsound.com/questions-faqs.cfmI've used these dvds many a times for demos to friends.
"Fight Club" Dark, brutal, shocking. And that's just the bass.
Strong below 10Hz. Take your gloves off. Wimpy subs don't even try this.
1. "THX Intro" *
2. "Mid-air collision" Chapter 8 (0:21:39)*
3. "Ass-whippin" Chapter 9 (0:21:59)
4. "Calling Marla" Chapter 10 (0:27:29)*
5. "Fridge explosion" Chapter 10 (0:27:35)*
6. "Car wreck" Chapter 27 (1:40:28)*
7. "My eyes are open" Chapter 35 (2:13:00)
8. "Final explosions" Chapter 36 (2:15:31)*
"Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings" Those not familiar with the story will have to pay attention very closely... or don't bother ...and just bask in state of the art sound and some of the deepest bass yet put on DVD.
1. "Ring drops", Scene 1 (0:03:49)*
2. "Sauron Explodes", Scene 1 (0:04:04)*
3. "Skeleton falls into well", Scene 8 (0:27:39)*
"Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" A rare thing, a sequel that's done at least as well as its predecessor. With stunning siege and battle scenes, and naturally, bass worthy of the SVS "Bassy Scenes" Hall of Fame.
1. "Gandalf falls", Scene 1 (0:02:48)*
2. "Black riders", Scene 14 (0:49:42)*
3. "Gandalf slays Balrog", Scene 15 (0:53:54)*
4. "Oliphants charge", Scene 30 (1:44:52)*
"Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" The epic finale of the famed Lord of the Rings trilogy. If your sub can handle this DVD it really is "precious".
1. "Green light" Chapter 11 (0:41:40)*
2. "Undead King" Chapter 27 (01:27:22)*
3. "Shelob" Chapter 33 (01:51:40)*
4. "Olephant charge, again" Chapter 42 (2:12:48)*
5. "Mount Doom" Chapter 53 (2:40:50)*
Of course the depth charge scene in U571 is always a jaw dropper if you don't blow up your sub at the same time.
If you have a BD player and like Gypsy/Dixieland/whatever it is, check out this title from Bruce Springsteen (don't expect his regular stuff here).
Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band: Live in Dublin (Blu-ray)
