Just got a new system for the living room. Nothing fancy, just a soundbar with a 8" sub and rear speakers. Got a nice deal on a Nakamichi Soundwafe system on cyber Monday. Replaced an older wired system that i got tired of hearing the fans running on it and it recently having trouble coming on when the tv was turned on.


My go to for surround sound is The Phantom Menace pod racing scene.

Any other suggestions for testing out the range of this sound system?

Master and Commander.

Any of the battle scenes, in particular the last one, are great for a system test.

The Matrix...lobby shoot out scene.

Jurassic Park....First T-Rex scene. Mostly because you will be able to test the clarity of your system when he eats the goats, when the kids talk and the low end when the T-Rex really starts losing his shite. The rain is a big plus as well.

I use to work in home theater and would use the original Fast and the Furious Blu Ray

The opening scene is Paul Walker testing a car at the Dodger stadium parking lot

It had very good 360 sound.

Top Gun is a great answer. And so is Jurassic Park.

WALL-E is also a great movie in surround sound, especially the scene where he and Eve are flying around together in space.

But the GOAT surround sound scene is the bank heist scene from Heat. Hands down.

Stargate is a really good one for surround sound.
