Great Atmos Soundtracks To Use In Your New Atmos Sound System - 2021 August Compilation

-
Just acquired a new Atmos capable system? Keen to put that system through the rope? Firstly make sure you set it up right, then after that, you may lust for material to play on it. I still feel disc based lossless tracks are the best source, but if you are streaming, it's an alternative to get Atmos into that system.

If you do a search online, there are many sites which give suggestions for the most awesome soundtracks to use in your new Atmos system, and here's my own:
Some tracks are only on discs, but I've tried to choose those where you can get it on a disc as well as from streaming sites. Covid has decreased the number of new movies but there are some are older movies which have been upgraded and now feature Atmos tracks:

- Hunter Killer : big dumb fun about a sub entering Russian waters and you get a suicide squad doing a rescue mission too. Lots of explosions and surround effects
- Angel Has Fallen: Another Gerard Butler effort with plenty of bass, surround effects and Atmos effects too
- Source Code: a thriller meets groundhog day. Atmospheric track, pun intended
- Cabin In The Woods: a fun parody of the slasher genre with plenty of surround effects and Atmos play
- Quiet Place: tense movie with plenty of silence (great for testing the sound isolation in your den) as well as very good surround effects
- Resident Evil Final Chapter: recycle content for the millionth time, but the soundtrack is a true demo fest
- Fury: WWII tank story with a real claustrophobic soundtrack and many solid ambient effects to relish
- Cliffhanger: 90s Die Hard On A Mountain Top. Despite it's age, there are some really good surround and Atmos moments
- The Meg: big dumb fun in the ocean with some very serious use of surrounds and your subwoofers
- Rampage: another big dumb fun movie with good bass and Atmos
- Fifth Element: hot chick, brings stones to bald man to fight evil dude with fancy gun who wins Oscars and brings the priest from Alien along to fight black mass  






I'll add a few more when I've finish a stack of movies I've purchased...

KEF LS 50 Meta review and comparison with the LS50

-
Image
The original KEF LS50 was one of those landmark speakers, a pocket rocket which performed at a much higher level than what it’s price tag might indicate. The original LS50 has been widely reviewed, and is well regarded by audiophiles everywhere.  However it does have some bite in the treble and lacks some deep bass, and works better for music which does not go too deep or with a sub to reinforce the bass. But what it does have is fabulous imaging, which allows you to how off great soundstaging, depth, and definition. If you are into details, you’ll love them. The coaxial design is also wonderful for those who sit a bit off axis. The construction is a marvel in itself and with a modern design, a beautiful gloss finish and a quality build. No wonder it’s loved by music lovers the world over. Now recently KEF has introduced the new KEF Meta. This is an updated version of the original and whilst it can look deceivingly the same, there are significant differences. First a link to the offici

Dynaudio Heritage Special Speaker Review

-
Image
Dynaudio is a company that has been in the speaker business for more than forty years and prides itself on making most of its components in house, especially the drivers and most of the cabinetry. Through the years they have developed many beloved components for their top end products and have also distilled them down to the masses whenever they launch a special edition. So they have adopted a similar format and take some of their finest drivers, an Esotar 3 tweeter and a woofer derived from the Evidence range and placed them into a more traditional walnut veneer speaker for us to sample.  Thus the Heritage Special (HS) was born. The catch ? Well there are two.. firstly it’s by no means cheap, even though it uses choice components. Second there are only 2500 pairs so if you’re waiting to get one, don’t ! And that’s the sum of my review if you may. If you’re a Dynaudio afficiando, just plonk down the deposit that had planned for the annual summer holiday and get this instead. Now reader

Haiku fan review II - Mounting a Fan and Using more than one Fan

-

A long long time ago, you had but a handful of choice of fans, and well, they mostly looked the same. The luxury fan market was almost non existent and then Haiku came along and all that changed. My original review is linked here:  Haiku fan review - how to choose a fan Since then, things have moved on and now we are into the fourth generation of the Haiku fan, or fifth if you count the more budget orientated version as well.  Well let's mention what is still present first. The cool, sleek design is still here. And you get both composite ABS blades, as well as bamboo options. It is still a DC motor, with the attendant energy savings, and the silent motor. But most importantly for most buyers, it still looks good. So what is new?  The size options have increased, from 52", 60" and now 84". You still get the option of a longer stalk for higher ceilings, but the longer mount  which extends from 40 to 70 cm comes with a rather bulbous base, instead of the mo
