In Reply to: Agree, can be very source dependent posted by cfraser on October 01, 2002 at 14:55:57:
The source is generally going to be the bottleneck in reproducing intelligible lyrics and dialog. Though others are correct to point out that source material (not just the source) can be a factor. You can rule that out (as you've probably tried) by playing the suspect DVDs in one of your dealer's (or a friend's) better HT rigs. You might also be running out of "gain" or whatever the correct term is that I am thinking of (when you turn the volume knob, and you still need more).Also someone else noted speaker to room interactions. this is probably the single biggest factor when assembling any rig. I've always avoided the big pitfalls, myself, right off of the bat. So perhaps I've been lucky.
Follow Ups:
I sometimes did before I got a good-working center speaker though. They do not all work well, and price is certainly no indication, IME. I was just pointing out source material varies a lot. Depending what you view. Some "DD" discs have ALL the sound in the center, some have none at all . So not to judge by just a couple of randomly chosen discs, there are no quality standards for them, sound varies wildly.
