And not just me, but many threads I have read about the compromises made to Dolby Digital soundtracks (complaints from sound mixers, no less) so that they will sound "good" when down-mixed to stereo (even when a 2.0 Dolby Surround track is included on the disc!).I guess it's all in the ear of the listener, but I have found the 2.0 Dolby Surround tracks to be better than their down-mixed 5.1 cousins. Time is actually taken to make a 2-channel (4-into-2, actually) track independent of the 5.1 track.
