Hmmm, I'm thinking you may need to adjust your system settings as I only have one sub and the lows were absolutely outstanding. My main speakers got a good workout in this movie as well as they can go down to 20Hz easily. Totally agree with the high ratings its getting.I thought it was terrible for bass and sound. The soundstage was non-existent and the bass was really disappointing.
yeah,what many don't really think about was that shockwave was from a perspective of being a distance from the "thing"(lol)as well as being IN the tower.When I watched it at near movie reference loudness the bass sounded fine to me (present, very low freqs at times, yet tight and not overdone). Over on AVS there were complaints that the initial shockwave around the 6 minute timecode did not boom enough. For me there was a very low freq thud at the time but not an overpowering mid-bass boom. Later scenes had plenty of mid-bass.
Seemed to me that many tried to find fault :hissyfit: with the HD DVD soundtrack since it was only 1.5 Mbps DD+ and not Dolby TrueHD lossless. I find it very hard to "hear" anything wrong with a very high bitrate advanced audio codec (albeit a "lossy" one). :whistling:
