[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 714824, member: 517"] I suppose another factor might be that you guys aren't listening at reference level, the level at which the dialogue was meant to be heard. I find, with correctly authored material, dialogue gets too soft for my liking below around 72db. I have no intelligibility issues and my centre is set to the same volume as the rest of the speakers in my setup - though I am using identical speakers across the front. My seated position is also well clear of walls. One other thing to mention, some films do purposefully bury the dialogue in the audio mix, like "Interstellar" as Legro mentioned. [/QUOTE]
