Bass Test | A1 Evo vs Audyssey | Edge of Tomorrow | World War Z |

[@jeremywhipple7554]

I love your setup I had a Marantz 8805A and 2 McIntosh 8207 before upgrading to Trinnov AV and Amp. I will have to test out these movies when my Perlisten speakers come in next week. Keep up the great work.

@@jeremywhipple7554 Thank you. That’s the setup I would love to have one day.

I'm doing this from memory, so someone might want to factcheck, but I believe Audyssey's target curve on the mobile app starts tapering the bass at 100hz. By 50 hz, it's -5db, and by 20 hz its -15. Evo's target curve's are very different and slope upward at 100hz and are closer to +5db at 50hz. Evo also doesn't boost, so it allows your sub and room to do it's thing.

That makes sense to me and difference in the low freq is audible as well as viewable in REW and Omnimic

[@kingeo25]

The Invisible Man would be interesting to look at. Some of the early scenes have some interesting bass. As usual 2049 and its many bass heavy scenes. Master and Commander U571

@@kingeo25 Thanks. Those are good recommendations.

Agree with edge of tomorrow for the subwoofer killer. Maybe try the intro to Hypnotic, cloverfield, of course the black hole scene In interstellar, also.. try playing some Hans Zimmer tracks via Apple Music etc in Dolby atmos, I think it’s the Inception: Time - song that has ultra low bass! 🎉

[@magnoliamo]

@@MattyDaddy14 Interstellar will be on the next episode. Thanks for reminding me. I have the Hans Zimmer Live in Prague disc on Dolby Atmos. That disc has also had some tracks with deep bass. Maybe I’ll put that in the next episode as well. 🙏

[@MattyDaddy14]

@@magnoliamo I just listened to the live in Prague on Apple Music thru my HT “system”. It’s truly great!! There were a couple songs, I wanna say Dark Phoenix? And one of the Batman -dark knight tracks had bass so low I don’t think my subs were even playing low enough! I’m dying to get one of the 15” sounds you’ve recommended to complete my system! Btw. Monolith subs are all on sale! Their 15” THX is $1299. The 13” and even 2-15” are less than $1700 now also. I’m still leaning towards RSL/HSU because of hi level inputs tho.

[@magnoliamo]

@@MattyDaddy14 it’s “Why so serious” from The Dark Knight. It’s the bass guitar that plays that deep. I’m going to include that in my next video. It’s damn good. Get the Monolith 15” subs.

Hi there nice setup. What spekers you use for bed layout thanks

[@magnoliamo]

@@KarelŠtosek Thank you. I am using Bowers & Wilkins CT7.4 for LCRS and CT7.5 for Surround Back. Checkout the speakers in my Home Theater Tour here: Home Theater Tour - Part Two kzbin.info/www/bejne/emPFaICVjsp6h8k

Which is suite your preference?

[@magnoliamo]

I love the bass extension and integration with the rest of the speakers with the A1 Evo.

[@andrewvenditelli152]

Appreciate these videos. What volume level do you listen at on your receiver? Curious for comparison on my setup.

[@magnoliamo]

@@andrewvenditelli152 The bass test readings are taken at -15 db volume level on the Marantz. That is the same volume that I typically watch movies when I’m by myself. With others in the room, I find that I have to go up to -10 db on the volume scale to get the same immersion and enjoyment.

[@andrewvenditelli152]

@@magnoliamoThanks!

[@kingeo25]

One more, Deep Water Horizon.

[@magnoliamo]

@@kingeo25 I need to buy Deep Water Horizon. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@andrewvenditelli152]

Idk why but Deepwater also reminded me of Underwater. Another really heavy bass movie, hard to find on disc though. But it hits 20hz hard throughout the whole movie. On sale on Apple for $4.99 in 4k right now.

[@magnoliamo]

@andrewvenditelli152 oh yeah. Underwater had very good bass including that initial scene. I am trying to find it on disc on eBay lol
