At less then 12 bucks each, now that's how BD disks should always be priced!

I think I've mentioned it before, but "Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard" has some of the best sound I've heard on any disc in any format. I hope you don't have neighbors living too close or a family that needs its rest.

When I said "DH4" has good sound, I was half teasing about the loudness part. Of course, you don't need to play it loud in order to appreciate the directional activity in the surrounds or the subtlety in the mains. (But it helps, and it's immense fun. Play it while she's gone.

And hey, you could just rent the DH 4 on BD too, if wanting to check out it's quality. I wish Fox would have issue both versions of it's films on BD, like they did with the lame AvsP: Requiem film. And more extras! Fox is definitely among the worst (among major studios) in their BD releases, and prices.

Steve,
Reducing the dynamic range is not something I would find an advantage in a receiver. It's like the difference between AM and FM radio, where AM is severely compressed to almost a single volume level and FM goes from very, very soft to very, very loud. It's the latter we want, even it it sometimes jolts us from our seat.
