Hello to everyone in this wonderful forum!
I'm Marco from italy and after a very long lurking period reading the most detailed and intersting software reviews and opnion ever found on the net, i decided to begin posting here too.
in this first message, i'd really like to advise all the owners of the high debated Episode 1 DVD (especially thoose who, just like myself, complained about the laking audio quality) about the incredible, far superior sound impact of the English region 2 Pal edition of this DVD (yes, i own them both). I simply couldn't believe how much of an improvement from the region 1 flat, mid bass/bass lacking and low recording level and little overall sound pressure (i'm not considering LFE channel) it was. The front soundstage in R2 UK version is immensely louder and larger, the sound more and more crisp, the effects far more realistic and powerful, the center speaker has a higher dialogue level, while the rears offer the same great effects heard in the R1. I can guarantee the impression is that of hearing a completely different movie with a new sound balancing and equalizing and i couldn't believe how this could have happened (not to mention the fact that PAL image has a very small amount of EE).
So i wanted to recommend all the most audiophile and disappointed "Star wars" fans here in the Forum, to buy THIS version as fast as they can, if they want to defenetely hear this awesome soundtrack how it was really meant to be.
Bye!!
