    Didn't watch the whole thing yet, but the first battle scene is AWESOME low bass. I "disturbed" the rest of the family late last night, and I was playing it at 32 clicks under reference!

    i agree, the low end is awsome in this soundtrack, the constant backround noise of the ship creaking etc makes you feel you're really there, dts at it's finest.

    C'mon, Kev......... -12 RL over here on the PB2-Ultra. I needed something to loosen the surrounds on those twin TV-12's. ;)

    -10 here, last night, alone. Had it at -12 when I watched it with the wife a couple nights ago. Last night I blew out a light bulb in the theater thanks to that bass.

    Good, solid, clean, low bass, excellent use of surrounds, it doesn't get much better.
    If...

    It doesn't take much to rattle the wife. ;)
    Sometimes I swear she hits 5-10 clicks OVER reference when she yells at the kids. :)
