Re: Your favorite movie demos to show off your Ascend speakers?
My favorite movie since I was a kid has always been The Blues Brothers and I think the opening scene with the big ol' horn blasts and jumping the Blues Mobile over the bridge is a fantastic way to show people what they can do. I've watched that movie many hundreds of times and it has never been as clear as it has been on my Sierra Towers. All of the music scenes are fantastic.
As far as action, I love showing the pilot episode of DareDevil on Netflix. It has a bunch of incredible panning effects, rain, knife sounds, and punches that sound incredible on a dynamic system. There's a point where the knives pan across his face and there's a bass sweep both times. It sounds eerily real through Ascend speakers.
