From what I understand, the stereo version of Red is the same thing as the 30th anniversary remasters, and unfortunately a lot of compression. I'm still waiting for my copy and reserve the possibility that it sounds great anyway.

In the Court of the Crimson King sounds excellent, and not compressed at all. I really enjoyed it in both RBCD and 96/24 stereo, but is an entirely different, and engaging experience in 5 channel. Judging from the very creative use of all channels, there was obviously a lot of sweat and toil that went into the multi-channel. The artistic use of surround, as opposed to recreating a stage, works really well in this case.
