I wonder if the multi-channel mix will differ significantly from the previous one ?

THIS thread inspired me to revisit this beauty! Wonderfully discrete!!

I have the previous one and will try to answer this question. After first listen, I thought the ATMOS was missing the lower bass response from Chris Squire--which you hear perfectly on the 5.1 mix. Also, be careful jumping around with audio choices because some are louder than others.

@Malhomme, I've just finished listening to Steven Wilson's 2013 5.1 mix and compared it to his 2025 5.1 mix. To answer your question, Steven Wilson was given the opportunity to make improvements on the 2025 5.1 mix. IMHO, these are subtle differences that make the new mix more enjoyable. I listened to the 2013 5.1 mix of Close to the Edge. To my ears, in the opening, Steve Howe's guitar work (up front) sounds a little bright. On the 2025 5.1 mix of Close to the Edge, the brightness of Steve Howe's guitar work is gone and, to me, sounds more pleasant. Also, Chris Squire's bass has more presence--which I enjoy very much. Hope that helps.

Yes! If you have the volume set for what you normally would for Atmos, and play the stereo instrumentals.....boy howdy! I mean it won't blow your speakers out but it's a bit of a jolt.

Walking past the calendar on the wall, i see that this is International Women's Day! I'm going to call my mom after this spin!

I’m only on the second track. Sounds great!

OK, I need a Prog break, so lets go with Pop Rock in Atmos.
Fleetwood Mac-Rumors- a Warner Records 2024 Release.
Blu Ray rip-Atmos MKV file-24bit/48Khz-DR's are 12's, 13's, 14's, 15's.
Nice immersive feel with those two female vocals wrapping me in there Atmos arms.

Yello: Touch Blu Ray. Listening in 5.1. I've been on a Yello kick for the last few days and this disc is the topper.
