What is the best audio to match with the 1080i HDTV version?

The 5.1 audio from the original WB DVD looks. It's 384kbps if I remember correctly, so it seems the same at the laserdisc. Anyway, I'm sorry, but I can't remember if I put a delay on it or not, but it eventually works.

You know, I've always suspected it might be. When I heard the Dolby TrueHD track on the blu-ray and hd-dvd versions they seemed to lack any impact sounds when people were punching or kicking, it was also similar with some of the shoot out scenes on the roof. I compared them for ages, not really understanding why the original DVD track seemed louder and better to my ears - this is with all the right equipment to play HD audio properly as well!

A couple of scenes I really noticed the difference between the two tracks were:

When neo dodges bullets on the roof

When neo is doing kung fu with morpheus.
