Testing New Surround Sound - DVD Recommendations?

Funny, I just got my new (5.1) speaker set today. Still waiting on the receiver and my current one is just stereo so I can only hook up 2.1 for now. :o

 

What did you get? I got an Onkyo TX-SR606 and these.

 

If you need cables you should order from http://www.bluejeanscable.com/

 

Waiting to hear on the extra price of a second sub added to the set and may order it.

 

Yeah, living in an apartment with a nice system... :( I'm going to crank it up on a movie as soon as I get it set up anyways. :D

I have an Onkyo TX-SR605

 

Front Surround - In-Wall Musica 625

 

Center - In-Wall MTX HT2625W

 

Rear Surround- DCM OW-1

 

Sub - MTX Sub8

 

In our small living room (about 20x14) it sounds AMAZING!!!! All items have been purchased new from a Member here (but not a Vendor). He has a Stereo Shop in MI. I am VERY happy with this "budget" system and would DEFINATELY do it all over again!!!

 

:D

Don't really know any of those speaker companies, but glad you like them. I was ecstatic about the spec list on the 606 when I first read about it. I still cross shopped and couldn't find anything that had the same stuff. I had an old Onkyo surround receiver and loved it, glad I'm getting another.

BTW, Titan AE (ice field scene) if you want your sub to cry. :nod:

 

I think my only required viewing when I get the receiver and set it up is the 1st Matrix movie. Maybe Alien, but I don't know how the surround sound mix is on that yet... Jurassic Park (T-Rex scene).

Actually, before I re-ran the Speaker Setup Program, I threw in The Matrix.

 

All I can say is....DAYYYYUUUMMM!!!!

 

I can't wait to watch again tomorrow (everyone else is sleeping :( )
