Ben-Hur (1959)

I don't hear any new sound effects, mixing errors, or major changes in directionality of dialogue on the blu-ray 5.1 (the same as the DVDs) compared to the old MGM LaserDisc (which apparently uses the original 6-track mix).

What I do hear on the 5.1 is moderate to heavy noise reduction, especially on dialogue/diegetic sound. The music only occasionally sounds better, but it too is often muffled.
