The Matrix | Location: | Lobby Shooting |
| Features: | From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows | | Description: | I was ashamed not to see this one up. Of all the DVD's out today this is still my all time favorite demo. If your system is dialed in right the LFE in the music will pound in your chest while the sound of brass casings bouncing of the tile floor will be ringing in your ear. This is the one I use as bench mark when making any changes in my system | |

The Patriots | Location: | Chapter 6 |
| Features: | Great surround movement sound | | Description: | During the attack of Mel Gibson and his 2 sons to get his eldest son back from the army, you can hear the voices actively all arround the left and right rear and front speaker and trough the center speaker. Feeling likes you are at the moment together with them during the gunshot fighting. Very nice splitting sound. | |
