I will have to agree with you and the original poster in your statements as to the improvement in audio quality while using the Dolby true HD or any of the new 24/192 sound formats.

For instance when watching Cloverfield and the various footfalls of this 300+ foot alien, and accompanying tanks firing away. Then jets, helicopters flying overhead etc. the low frequencies with my assorted reference subs were reproduced faithfully, yet movement and bass frequencies panning to the rear and sides had such a thick low bass tone I thought my Mirage OM10s had subwoofers in them! I never heard bass like this from my OM 10s.

Ive really never heard sounds so realistic and lifelike as it is in these new audio formats that accompany the Blu-Ray HD picture quality. Also the whole sonic picture seems to FILL in noticeably better than Dolby Digital or DTS, they're really good in steering sounds and panning around the room with no gaps, yes the New formats are EXTREMELY REALISTIC sound reproduction... in its full spectrum.

So yes IMO, the sound quality is a huge leap in the right direction and had me shivering while watching this film so realistic was the soundtrack. This is no SUBTLE aspect, very obvious to me. And I don't scare easily! The sound was a big factor.

I dont want to sound over the top in my rave but I truly feel the improved sound quality deserves and warrants these comments.
