Dumb Audio Question

[CptGreedle]

Speakers do play a big part in audio quality, as an mp3 will sound better than a cd when the cd is played on cheap portable speakers and the mp3 on a high quality Bose (or comparable) system.
But yes, uncompressed does sound better than compressed. I have not compared the two and I would absolutely love to do that, but technically it should be a noticeable difference.
It's funny how, now that we have a nice surround sound system, my wife and I will hear something that sounds like a door or footstep coming from our side and think it's in the house, only to realize it is part of the movie. LOL
I hope to see Gladiator on that system soon, the opening in surround on the DVD totally emerges you into the scene.
