BEWARE the STREAMING version of T2T EE


I had the Blu-rays for several years and liked the audio in that, as it was almost identical to the DVD and my memories of the many cinema experiences I had of this movie, but I should warn those who get the streaming version of the EE as I did, that there are audio changes.

Nothing is too egregious, although the sound mix appears to be mushed together into stereo, but there was the moment that Frodo tries to stab Sam in the throat with Sting, comes to his senses and drops the sword: all previous versions I know of had a lovely resonant CLANG, but here, it's a muffled horrible mess of a sound!!

The video quality is still fine, but the audio has had changes to it, and I'm not sure I like it.
