There are pros and cons to both the mixes…. some of it I like on the DVD's… for example the back to front zooming… yes… I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I also like the music spread out across the front and rears… and I really like it when the dialogue is center channel only.  But...I'm gonna take more time to listen to the Hairy Hen track on the 2.5 MKV. I agree that there are some areas where it outshines the tracks on the DVD's. 

Unfortunately I have no skills in video/audio editing to complete that big of a task like joining the DVD/blu ray soundtracks with Harmy's version… and editing out all the unwanted gimmicky bits on the soundtracks. Who know.. maybe someone out there will do this… I love my orginals but I also like "some" of the stuff they did to the movies later on, like the surround sound and fixing the black matte's around the ships etc. Most of it I hate of course… but with Harmy's version I think we've reached a really great outcome with the look and the feel of the OT.
