I like Dark City for surround sound testing as it has superior cohesiveness throughout the entire movie. The pressure of the surround - atmospherics will snap into focus if you nail it and form a pressure like envelopement around you. The scene in True Lies where the dwebe bolts from the table in the restaurant running up the left wall of your room will expose a gap in the left main and left rear speaker. Switch inputs and calibrate right side. Dragonslayer has some excellent swooshing rear pans as the dragon flies around you. Opening rain scene in Crimson Tide. Opening scene in Desperado where the clicking revolves around room. Opening scene in Outbreak , especially when rocket launches from your right shoulder. These are but a few.
Good Scene to test surrounds
Anyone have suggestions for a scene to test surrounds? I just got my gear I want to hear what my babies can do. I just connected all the cables and I believe everything is working. I have Sonus Faber Cremonas for the front three channels and Concertos for surrounds.
