    My main ones are all listed here, but a surprisingly awesome surround experience is ice age 2. It's subtle but it's impressive in a well calibrated system. The enveloping environmental noises are crazy good including this constant low rumble and cracking of ice in the distance.
    design is where science and art break even.

    The soundtrack to Star Trek, The Movie. This is the first Star Trek movie. The movie was a dog turkey but the soundtrack, which happens to be the very first full digital recording is a good one to test speakers.

    Agreed. The new movie is also very well done.
