To solve the volume problem, I run three seperate amps, each with their own volume control. One drives the L and R mains, one takes the sub output from the DVD and drives a passive sub, and one other amp (multi-input, multi channel ) drives the center and rears. I usually set the L and R,and sub, sit in the sweet spot, and use a remote to bring up the center and rear.
DVD's and DVD audio sounds splendid. As a matter of fact, I have the center channel output from the DVD on a Y plug, and into the L and R of the " center " amp. These pair of speakers are mounted above the TV.Speakers used are Definitive Tech 10 B's L and R
JBL 2080's ( titanium tweeters ) for the L and R center
JBL L 100's for the rears
RS 12" Passive subPower;
McIntosh C 28 and MC 165 powers the Def Tech's
Akai ( vintage ) powers the sub
Cheap KLH 6 channel amp powers the center and rears.I wanted to put this all together on a budget. After I bought the Toshiba DVD/ DVD Audio player for $ 230.00, I used up stuff I had laying around, that I had gotten in years past. I'm glad I never throw old audio gear away.
Actually, I don't have the room, but I would love to run the center channel on a vintage pair of matched mono Heathkit speakers ( SB1 and SB 2 ) that are 45 years old, work very well, but are just huge!
Depends what speaker you use. I have found this Polk CSI40BLACK center channel for $399.00 that sounds very good for movies. Dialog is clear and most of the movie comes out of this channel. The main channels work/act like surround speakers any way and the booming comes from the subwoofer. Movies don't have good sound after all. Even my concerts or music videos have crappy sound.
