In Reply to: Sound vs. Video posted by bstan on January 01, 2002 at 08:07:10:
When viewing many DVDs, I have my volume set somewhere between -6dB and 0dB for the level of sound I'm projecting into my listening environment, a medium-large room (19' x13' x8-12').I didn't want you to think I don't appreciate what the director has produced. Some movies also supply higher quality sound (less soundstage voiceovers) and actually sound more fluid.

Hi bstan: Hope you are having a happy New Year! Yes sound quality does vary alot as does the picture quality. I have had similar experiences as yours in Imax theatres. I find that I complain a lot more than I used to of out of focus movies, etc. The same applies to the mastering process for DVDs, some are so poor you can hardly hear what is being said or are very fuzzy. Levels are all over the map. Yet there is some great stuff that I can watch dozens of times (Rio Bravo and Run Silent, Run Deep come to mind). Both were done before fancy electronics took over. Simplier is sometimes better.
