I'm not sure if it's just the way it was recorded in the UK or not. The mids are pushed way upfront and the bass is severely lacking on the soundtrack. If you're OK with that then it should be fine. I have 2 18" subs set at 40 Hz and barely enough bass to listen with interest. I will buy the U.S. version and find out. If anyone has the U.S. version please let me know.
