Believe it or not, the Kevin Costner movie Open Range has a FANTASTIC soundtrack that's worth listening to at least once.

Yours isn't bad either for the price. Mine was $999 at CC.

I'll start, you paid to much! You can get a better much such as a PB10 from SVS for 429 and then you can add on a decent refurb receiver from harmanaudio.com. Get a couple sets of Axiom M3ti's and....

Yep.....

I have Terminator 2 ... the high definition version and play it on my home theater pc hooked up to my surround sound setup. It rocks!

BTW: the surround sound setup has changed from the one in my sig. Gotta update the pics next week since I'm moving.

I saw Aliens remastered for surround sound and THX once at a theater. It was bad ass, although Aliens is one of my favorite movies, so that probably helped.
 
My System:
Toshiba 51H84
Yamaha HTR-5830
Front: Technics tower speakers Unknown Part number
Rear: Klipsch RB15
Center: PSB Unknown part #
Sub: Velodyne CHT10R
DVD: Toshiba SD-4980 HDMI Progressive Scan

I like all of the following in DTS:
Twister
Final Destination
Matrix Reloaded
LOTR

I generally like any movie encoded into DTS. Welcome to the HT club!!
