So, on a modern home surround system (decent quality) which sound mix sounds the best overall for each film? I’m not concerned about content here, just quality, SEs included as I don’t mind editing the track to be in sync/revert content to how I prefer to the version im watching. I actually rather enjoy doing that kind of thing. Also it has a pro logic upmixer so 5.1 vs 2.0 doesn’t really matter to me either as I honestly can’t tell the difference in sound. (Other than 2.0 being more efficient in quality vs bitrate… I know there are differences with digital 5.1 being more discrete and isolated and whatnot but sitting in the center of my surround setup and not isolating and comparing individual channels they sound the same to me)

I would have thought blu ray (for esb and rotj anyway… Anh audio is garbage on BD) and 97 for anh but I’ve heard other reports that the previous mixes (93 in particular) sound even better than the bds and topics such as this fascinate me.
