Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Either your speakers are not calibrated,

or you need clearer, more transparent speakers.

All speakers must be within 1db of each other, else things get as you describe.

Also, from my own experience: (this is but one example illustrating the difference between Other Speakers and Horns.. I have many, many more such examples.)

Harry potter II scene, in the library, via inifinty Video 1 center: "Now now, Malfoy, mumble mumble"

Same scene, via Klipsch SC1 center: "now now, Malfoy, play nice..."

That example was with a Sony conventional solid-state 5.1 receiver. Once I got a Panasonic full digital receiver (TI PurePath), several additional layers of crud were lifted from the presentation.

Due to how movies are mastered into 5.1 digital dolby and 5.1 dts, where the center is discrete, I'm leaning to you need a more transparent speaker. A five-channel Klipsch Synergy setup can be had for around a grand, and will shame speakers of similar price, and dare I say it, twice or even thrice the price.

Just my 2¢, horn h4t3rz don't even bother flaming, since I rarely check this particular asylum anyway.. and horn h4t3rz opinions mean precisely squat to me anyway.
