HEADPHONES Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Just replaced my 15 year old home cinema subwoofer due to an annoying rattle. The REL Q200e had served me well with its 10 inch cone and 200w amp, but thinking I'd probably overdriven it I upgraded to a BK Monolith Plus with a 12 inch driver and 500w amp. At 47kg it totally dwarfs the REL The first film I watched was Antman and The Wasp. Film was okay but the bass was a bit meh i was tempted to ignore the Audessey settings and up the gain on the sub. Thankfully I didn't as when I played "Live,Die, Repeat/ Edge of Tomorrow" the bass in the opening sequence even before any action hit blew my socks off! Then I fired up Tron Legacy. When Flynn Jr enters the Grid and gets caught..... again.....bass heaven. What are your favourite subwoofery moments?

Stutopia Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The street shootout in Heat, perfect for testing home cinema! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Intro to Iron Man 2, up until he starts speaking on stage. AC/DC ftw. Also Independence Day for the rumbling of the craft when approaching LA, because a well setup system is about subtlety as well as power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't have HEAT but remember the scene well from when I saw it in the cinema I'll have to revisit my Ironman 2 Blu-ray and my Independence Day dvd...... cheers for the reminders.

HEADPHONES Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Those Mission Elan floorstanders look like they have a great surface area of drivers to shift serious air. "No replacement for displacement" as they say in the automotive world Edited January 1, 2019 by HEADPHONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
