Audio Visionary and Audio Attitude – I also own a home entertainment system because I want to hear and feel the sound.
Sound is crucial when it comes to “being” in the movie. Not only do I have a surround sound system but I have multi-hundred dollar cords connecting everything together, 7 massive speakers (used to maximize the blu-ray outputs) and an amplifier that when cranked up could blow out the windows of a 1200 sq ft. apartment. Performing constant updates/improvements with your system is a must when wanting to maximize the latest blu-ray titles.
There is no such thing a pushing your audio to the limits.
)))
Cool
Audio Intensity – I need to have an ear gasm when I listen to things. I want my house to shake as if a stampede of obese people were streaking through. I want access to the best.
I am Audio Intensity. I have to feel the sound. Like whispers from a ghost, or the boom from an explosion. Sound is everything.
I’d have to say i’m a combination of Audio Legendary and Audio Intensity. The position of the speakers in my theater room is crucial. I need to hear every sound float over from left to right and to rear and back again. I need too feel the bass! It’s simply a must.
I could best be described as an Audio Visionary. I’m always looking for the perfect sound quality in anything I’m listening to. Whether it be movies, music or just watching television. I am constantly repositioning speakers or buying new headphones to get that perfect sound from the source to my ears. I have not yet jumped into the Blu-Ray market, and this could be a perfect opportunity to take high quality audio and video to the next level.
I feel i am Audio Adrenaline. I live in a college atmosphere and we need audio equipment that can blow everyone away when we have a party while still sounding crisp and clean.
Audio Legendary. I want to be in the action and feel like what I’m hearing is happening in the room with me. I want to be transported.
I am definitely an Audio Intensity. I turn the music up until my wife tells me to turn it down.
Audio Visionary-definitely:) sound should just happen it should completely surround you and make you part of the action
I am a Audio Intensity…I want my kids to run to the living room wondering why the house is shaking (it’s from all the explosions happening in the movie). I want my dog to run in fear when he hears a cute little kitty roar while he is watching. I want the neighbors to come over and tell me that thier pictures were knocked off the walls by the music that was playing (my closest neighbors are 1/3 mile away)….I WANT INTENSITY!!
Audio Legendary- The best sound is sound that makes you feel like you are there.
Audio Legendary. Set me free!
I am Audio Lacking. I’ve got a wife that is 7 months pregnant that has been in and out of the hospital with kidney stones that are too large to pass. I’ve spent 2 weeks in the hospital for the past month. I have a 3 year old that is balls to the wall. I finally finished my downstairs (read mancave) and now with the medical bills mounting from my wife’s surgeries I can no longer afford to actually put any decent audio/video equipment in it. A blu-ray player would kick ass, at least it’s a start.
I’m all of them really, but to pick one, I’d go with Audio Adrenaline, because I push it to the limit.
Audio Legendary. Doesn’t matter how loud it is, if the sound setup doesn’t support or enhance the experience of the story, it’s just noise.
I’m a mix of Audio Adrenaline and Audio Intensity… I like my music to rock my bones, but my movies to push my limits… Home systems rock, as long as the walls aren’t too thin :P
I’d have to say I’m Audio Intensity. I get INTO what I’m watching/listening to, and I like get the sound into me.
I’m a Audio Legendary and Audio Visionary –
nothing does it for me except the purest sound coming from a movie/show/etc. Gotta be natural.
Visionary b/c i love up’ng my game all the time.
Audio Intensity: If you can’t feel the sound then you can’t escape as movies and tv shows take you away from reality. I need the audio to take me to another world to really take my imagination to new heights.
What are you freaking kidding me? AUDIO LEGENDARY BABY! I’m just putting my media room together right now and NEED a Blu-Ray player. I like to make sure all of my components are the same so it would go along way towards me buying more of your products.. hint hint.
Audio Legendary – My life is terrible, so I like being transported to a dream world that is full of fantasy. Rad.
Audio Intensity: I am deaf.
audio legendary, i want to be inside the audio.
Big time “Audio Intensity”. We have two TVs at our house and my husband is constantly yelling at me to turn the sound down when we are in different rooms. I can’t help it! I love to rent movies, turn those overhead lights down just right, have a glass of wine and feel like I am at the movie theater. It is a great substitution to blowing money at the theater, especially in today’s economy. But you’ve got to have that sound loud and surround to truly enjoy the experience!
audio legendary – to make the visuals come to life
Audio Intensity…I want to feel what I can’t hear
Boom! goes the dynamite. With my current auditory set up I cannot achieve true auditory orgasm. I would very much like to kick it and enjoy a nice steady ear bleed. Crank “Heat” up to max power and show my neighbor that I’m the alpha male in this zoo.
My roommate just bought his Fiance “diamond” earrings. Nothing would make me feel better than cracking them while blaring some bombastic beats.
Why should I win? I have an average penis and a lazy eye.
In addition… I absolutely hate Perez Hilton
Best Regards,
The Fiz
Audio Legendary
definitely Audio Legendary
Audio Adrenaline. I like it load and fast like Motorhead.
Audio Intensity- hands down- there’s nothing better than being in the music.
Audio Legendary…straight to the source. Quality loss is not an option…if i don’t feel like I’m hearing it when it was originally created, I’d rather not hear it at all! But also audio intensity…if the room isn’t shaking, it’s not loud enough!
I would say that I am an AUDIO ADRENALINE and also AUDIO VISIONARY. I work in radio, so my music has to be perfect, whenever I’m out, I fix the levels to my liking and people can notice the difference. I also went to school graduating with a degree where we were constantly playing with the audio to create background sound and noises. Sound is everything!
I am an Audio Virgin – I have been deaf as a post since i was 3 years old. I don’t know what the hell anything sounds like! A train could sound like a Bird. Britney Spears singing could sound like a Manatee eating a head of Lettuce. it is all the same to me. Nothing!!! LOL I enjoy the Bass though.
I love hearing every bit of detail in movies, music, and games. I also love listening to music loud.
Audio Intensity. I like the small bones in my ear drums to be smashed to powder and driven into my skull by the sheer, overwhelming, awesome-ness of sound!
Audio Attitude, got to be sleek
Audio Legendary…. I would love to be as if I were a part of the movie. I want to be the center of it all, feel all the vibrations, explosions and voices!
I would say I am Audio Intensity kind of guy. Ever since I saw the scene in Private Parts when Howard Stern gets that girl to O with the subwoofer, I’ve secretly dreamed of being able to achieve that with a girl on my couch during the launch scene of Apollo 13…sadly I have not been able to get a girl to watch Apollo 13 with me *sigh*
I’m an Audio Legendary kind of a guy. I want the audio to reflect what the composer and sound engineers wanted.
Audio Intensity…Nothing is better then when you feel the bass in your chest at a live show. Or when the sound is so intense that it gives you goose bumps. Quality sound makes all the difference in the world when enjoying a good movie.
Audio Legendary – I like sound that makes me shake!! What is a good sound system for if it can’t help you share the experience??
Definitely Audio Attitude. NOBODY has musical tastes as weird as mine.
Audio Legendary. I want to lose myself in the entertainment – feel like I’m there, and forget about reality.
Let’s go for Audio Legendary and top it off with an Audio-Erotic Fixation.
Audio Legendary – The best kind of entertainment is when you get the full experience. One sure way to achieve that is by sound and visuals. I want to be able to view a realistic picture with the sound quality to match, otherwise, what’s the point? That’s why most people spend $15 to see a movie at the theatres.
Watching a movie without sound like drinking n/a beer…..Whats the point? I cant say i have all the fancy equipment some of these people have because i simply cant afford it. my wife and kid comes first. however i would love to be able to watch movies at home the way the director and actors think they are supposed to be. bad sound can ruin a movie almost as much if not worse then bad acting. i love my music and i listen to every genre. of course i play each one at te volume and settings i think are apprpriate. louder isnt always better
