    Part of it could either be that they’re not spending the time for a home release audio mix, don’t want to for purity’s sake or I’ve seen issues with trying to condense surround soundscapes down to stereo.

    It all comes down to dynamic range and they should be using all of it for theatrical release and then remastering for home release.

    TV shows do not get a pass. Cinephile audio engineers that think the vast majority of their listeners will have home theater setups are just plain delusional.

      The way they do dynamic range in movie theaters sucks too. I have to wear earplugs because it’s so loud.

      Depend, people with proper high dynamic range surround sound systems shouldn’t be penalised when watching content

      while I agree with:

      I disagree:

      they’re not spending the time for a home release audio mix

      From my recollection, mixing audio for different scenarios is just a function you can let the speakers decide how it will mix. Not adding this basic accessibility function in the 21c is just callousness.
