Troy,
I had feeling I misunderstood the comment, that is why I asked.
BTW, nice setup.

I had mentioned in an earlier thread that the DVD volume is lower than the LD, but I still think it sounds pretty awesome. The LD mix rocked, but my complaint was that it was really almost, forgive me for saying this, Bass heavy (which kills me, because I love bass) The bass always made my sub and bass shakers rattle and they seemed to be on the verge of popping. So I adjusted bass in my system overall, but eventually came to the conclusion that the bass was just overamplified in the mix.
Peace...

I posted only 3-4 graphs, but actually measured more than 10 scenes, some short (single effect), some longer.
The 'hover flyover' was one of them. The overall level difference in this scene 9db, like on the 'bigger fish' scene. After compensating, the scene measures indentical on both version, the DVD actually has 1-2db more below 20hz in the LFE, similar to the 'Podrace Start' scene i posted.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet (i'm not reading through 11 pages ) Has anyone else bottomed out their sub on the THX intro? I have a SVS 20-39CS set 5 db above the mains and I listen at -10 db from reference and it bottomed my SVS big time, no other disc has done this, not even The Haunting dts.
