I just borrowed a copy of the two towers from my friend who was lucky enough to some how get one of the copys that the movie studio sends out to the academy awards reviewers. This is a great soundtrack. The copy does have Dolby EX soundtrack, improperly flagged ovcourse. Hopefully it will be corrected on the DVD that comes out next month. This dolby track seems to be on par with the fellowship soundtrack. The diferrances I noticed were 1. Way way way more souround usage on the two towers sound track. My Qs8's were constantly active. 2. Great LFE but not quite the equal of the first movie. These are my first impressions, I'm going to watch it again tonight and see if I notice anything else.
