I added a Parasound monoblock a few months ago
Did you use an SPL to calibrate the gain after doing so?
(nice choice btw)
In reply to:
it is THX certified. Think that might be the difference?
That's not what Sushi is talking about. There's a difference between THX processing which attempts to adapt the signal to THX's preferences for audio and THX certification which is just a guarantee that the particular product holds up to THX's quality standards.
The fact that the amp is THX certified won't play a part in this. Your receiver, on the other hand, may include THX processing in which case some of the trebble may be rolled off by the receiver in an attempt to keep Lucas happy.
It may be that you just prefer louder voice data than the movies were engineered with. In this case, you could boost the center gain in order to lift that channel above the others to a degree that pleases you.
