So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?

I see a WIDE variety of opinions on the new Beatles Box sets; both for the stereo and mono versions. Have you spent some quality time evaluating these? How good/bad are they? Should we run out and get both sets? What about releasing them on vinyl; is that going to happen?

I can't wait for hi-re downloads. That'll make used cds cheap as dirt!

Wireless, Shadorne, Dlcockrum, Alpass---Finally, someone agrees with me: The sound on the stereo re-masters has been altered, and for the worse: Thin and bright.

Has any of you listened to any of the new mono re-masters yet? I really like the sound of the 1987 monos (PPM, WTB, HDN, BFS). I'm worried that the sound of the monos has been changed just like the stereo versions.

Thanks Wireless. The real test, though, is to compare the four 1987 monos with their 2009 mono counterparts. Has anyone done that yet?

I'm still looking for information comparing the four 1987 mono CDs to their 2009 counterparts. Is there any data comparing the compression for these releases?
