You need the proper setup.   

 

The first time I built my 18" ported subs I was told to play the scene from Finding Nemo when Nora knocks on the glass of the fish tank.

2 x 5000 watt amplifiers started to clip and I thought a bomb hit the house.  

Very intense scene at around 8hz and very loud.  

 

Same happened with War of the Worlds at the beginning with the machines coming out from the ground and the ground breaking.  4-10hz for about 20-30 seconds.  You swear the drywall was being sucked off the walls.  

 

Now with the 2 x 21" subs I have that same Nora scene I use to scare the hell out of people.  If my neighbours give me a hard time I loop the War of the Worlds scene with the windows open and play it with the sub power 20db above reference with the subs run even hotter.    

 2 x 21" ?? 

I'll have to check that War of Worlds scene out.

Most memorable theater moment for me was the White Zombie club scene. I swear the theater was going to come down from all the bass. Fast forward 19 years & I would try to get the same effect while watching the Blu-ray cranking it to reference volume but never, ever was the same. The UHD comes a lot closer in regards to the audio that's for sure  

Great pics as always @Benoit46

Thanks to @forenhase this beauty showed today. Thank you for all the effort and time you commit to us all Forenhase

Thanks MP!

@ukade2327 that embossed Japanese 2049 steelbook is awesome. So dark, neon and rain-soaked I love it ?

If you ever open the highly coveted BR2049 Japan box please take pix! Great looking collection.

Amazing pictures @Guitou36 the inside of that one click was tantalizing! ?

Me too so no more Blufans leftovers ?

LOL its almost noon

My OC is here.  Have to go pick it up from the post office soon.  

 

Pics! IDK where mine are at

Amazon will just throw it in a large box and send it to you. They must enjoy going through returns 90% of the time.

Im going to try that magazine trick as @Grendel suggested. I even thought about ordering $5 worth of bubble wrap or something along with the order LOL.

Very nice price on the retail pricing! Too bad the box set is literally a brown cardboard box ? 

*edit* I wonder if it will be made to open without actually "opening" the packaging. That would be cool!

I have 4K. 

I think the the J-card ruins the beauty of the box for those of us who don't open them and put them on display. 

Interesting thx for reply! 

I looked closer and the j-card is underneath the packaging, not like the individual releases? If so yea, I see what your saying.... The individuals just has the j-card loose in a loose bag but yea the box set has to look at it forever if you don't open the entire thing ?

I think its cool because I've never seen a huge j-card like that is all. The two of you that don't like it so far, do you not have 4K? 

Definitely a cool touch @ksosk I also like how they used the BIG 4K j-card for the box set ?

Orgazmo

@deckard99 yea it really depends on what the studio put out. I watched Ex Machina last night in 4k again and it was a little soft to me. Its native 4K but all the VFX is 2K but most of the movie is VFX  Sometimes the studios put out visual gems like Fifth Element or Gladiator which are just packed with grain, detail and nothing is soft though.

Another good option for 4K player is the new Sony X700 that has Dolby Vision support. I think its under $200 now. If I lived in Europe I'd want the Panasonic UB9000 or equivalent player (Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support).

Let's say I was interested in getting a 4K player, what's the best region free that's affordable, and where? 

It really sucks Oppo is stopping making players err going out of business, not that they were cheap but they had a good hardware region mod that didn't mess with the firmware. Wish I could help more on the region stuff.. All the 4K UHD is region free but I think the regular blu rays aren't.

Absolutely. My opinion is 4K is a tad overrated. I'm sure it's nice quality, but it's nothing that will sway me to buy a new region free player. 

Try and catch a demo of The Matrix on a good setup.

That One-Click Box design is so hard to resist. Wish there is 4K in it in at least one of those. 

Yea I have to admit, that design is pretty effin sweet..... I almost want to pull trigger like the rest of you. I got the 4K oring from Best Buy like a year ago though for very cheap. This thread makes me want to go re-watch it

No 4K? Easy pass ?

My camera sucks. Would probably look better if I opened it too ?

No it didn't. Blu Collection announced it a couple months ago.

Ok thanks. It did for me. Was pleasantly surprised.

This one came out of nowhere

The sound also. The UHD blows me away with the White Zombie club scene or even the Rage track at the end of the film now rocks.
