I cannot relate at all to that mindset. I never catch myself "waiting for bass" when I'm watching a movie. The best thing about the ROTS DVD sound mix is that I never once focused on the sound quality. It was so dynamic, so immersive, so subtle in all of the right places, that I was able to...

A very astute observation, I must say. Since ROTS is supposed to set up the events that unfold in ANH...perhaps it is setting up the "bass-impaired" lightsabers in use during the OT. ;) Regards, - Shane D.

Each film is a different mix. I know that's a painfully obvious fact to state, but it's true. And it's all a matter of personal preference. For me, I agree that the sabers in ROTS don't have the "bass" that was present in the first two PT mixes...and I'm perfectly fine with that. For my...

Obviously, not all mixes are created equal, so to speak. I can only think of a few instances (okay, more than a few) in which the bass seems "overcooked" in the AOTC mix. Not so much so on ROTS...and not so much so on many, many other DVDs I've run through the sub. As for positioning, that was a...

Agreed. There are some instances during AOTC (the initial fly-by of the Queen's ship, for instance) in which the massive bass veered into the level of 'overkill' (even though I do enjoy the 6.1 mix as a whole for that title). During ROTS, the bass rumbled in all the right places, but it was...

I believe the charge was complaining without basis. If you're not doing that, fine. That is why I asked specifically about your complaint about the sonics during the Mustafar sequence...but that answer doesn't sound forthcoming. When I shared my opinion of the ROTS DVD sound, your response...

My comments were meant more as rhetoric than to be taken literally. Most systems don't get a true "work-out" unless you're willing to blast the volume levels. I feel quite safe in proclaiming ROTS to be a demo-quality DVD. Those who simply wish to complain will do so no matter what. I'll let...

"Without much bass material?" Have you heard the ROTS DVD? Trust me...there be PLENTY of "bass material." ROTS is my new demo DVD...for both picture AND sound. Overcooked bass doesn't necessarily mean "more power." It just means "more bass." Regards, - Shane D.

THE GOOD NEWS: The ROTS DVD has a DD track to rival TPM and AOTC. The soundfield is completely immersive and the bass--especially during the opening battle and the climax on Mustafar--is room-shaking. THE BAD NEWS: The overcooked bass on the lightsabers from TPM and AOTC is nowhere to be...
