I think the original CDs were really very muddled in this department. The next thing that strikes me is the clarity- the basic songs are the same of course, and we all know them, but now there is a life and a sparkle to the details. I also fired up A Hard Days NIght and you know what- I dont mind the stereo mixes at all. The sound has a real energy and clarity to it. The people who worked on these remasters (Im sure George and Giles Martin) should be commended- they did a fantastic, wonderful, job that aside from commercial considerations, had to have been a labor of love. It shows.

Jerry - how do the Meridian surround modes work with the set (presumably the stereo set)? Have you recieved the mono set yet to try a listen?
