...and I find lots of movie dialog difficult to understand. I have a 6-channel system that I'm otherwise quite happy with, but last week I had the CC speaker out of it and was listening in 4.1. Multichannel music sounded GREAT, but I really missed the ability to adjust the CC dialog independently. I had previously used an Eminent Technology LFT-12 speaker...
...that I had adapted to a couple different open-baffle systems...
...so I resurected that without the baffles.
Since the '12 is open-baffle and small, it has little bass output below 100Hz, and it sounded EXCELLENT on dialog. I've adapted it to a makeshift stand...
I think you need a real 5.1 A/V receiver and a CC speaker that emphasizes articulation of voices rather than broad frequency range, and this LFT-12 is one of them.
