Right, I think I have set up my XLS400 sub correctly now.
Placed it next to the TV, not in a corner, crossover at 100hz, other speakers set to small, gain at 11o'clock in a 7x4m room, ran Audessey equvailant on the Pioneer.
When watching a film I haven't had it turned up passed -20db yet,or found the need to, so far so good and the bass seems nice and tight, illustrated by explosions in Band of Brothers when they are bombed before the battle on Foy. Which I didn't expect, never thought bass from a sub can be tight like that.
However, I am looking for a movie with a surprising bass line, something that can move my organ and rattle windows.
Not something obvious like a war film where you know the lower end stuff comes from explosions but after something more subtle. I found that although Band of Brothers was good, it was kinda boring, boom boom boom, the explosion is same from the last to the next with not much difference between them.
I've tried the ususal suspect - Transformers, Tron Legacy, Star Wars, The Matrix, I am thinking of a film which has has a soundtrack that takes you by surprise, as weird as this sounds, Hannah Montana The Movie sounds great on BluRay, everything has great clarity, and the bass gives the whole film a nice texture to the atmosphere.
So what BluRay that has a soundtrack which made your head turn?
