"It takes a while to get used to hearing all effects, mixed with dialogue and score from all angles. The rears have been put through at a lesser level which does actually minimise the oddity by allowing for a smidge of ambience, but occasional spikes and imbalances mean this equilibrium isn’t maintained throughout."

If you use headphones or 2 speaker set up, wouldn't this mean it makes no difference at all to mono?

That's the impession I was under... but I admit my tech knowledge is limited.
Besides the BDs are too expensive right now. For the trilogy US$76 plus postage. I got Indiana Jones for less than half that amount.

Hopefully it won't have incurred customs charges like my last one did then, gutted about that as I don't know where I can safely order Criterions from now at decent prices.

well unless i'm missing something Malkovich is £22.89 on moviemars and £21.99 there? neither price is good but i'd sooner pay a quid or two more rather than risk a customs charge.they're certainly cheaper than the likes of movietyme these days.

I get them at pre-order prices which are generally cheaper, like £17.99 plus postage I think.
