The soundtrack was remixed in true stereo from the prerecording masters for the laserdisc which was later used for the DVD. I’m not certain the Perspecta track survives. The new track I am certain would be superior to the.Perspcta one in any case. Let’s hope for a Blu-ray with the 5.1 track.
My 5.1 set up has a center speaker under my monitor and the LR speakers on the floor. Surrounds are on speaker stands around ear level. Sounds awesome to me that way. Not sure why having the main speakers on the floor is an issue.
Mine arrived. Sadly, Disc 4 is a duplicate of Disc 2. The rest of the set is a revelation. I’ve already notified Craft. There’s no point in returning the set to Amazon for a replacement as most likely it will have the same defect.
For what I’ve been reading on the Film Score Monthly website, the European pressings seem to be OK. Those coming from Craft and Amazon have the problem. I just received the confirmation that mine will be arriving from Amazon tomorrow. I will keep you posted.
