Yea I'm all for preserving the original audio… but when it comes to enjoying my home theater setup… the 2004 soundtrack (at least on my setup) is more enjoyable and much more immersing, with all speakers getting some workout. Some of the changes might seem a bit "gimmicky" but on the whole I like the surround sound on those DVD's.
Wish someone could combine Harmy's great quality work with some more up to date sound… either from the Blu Rays or the DVD's….
