I have a 5.1 sound system that is all Axiom except for my sub which is SVS. Everything goes into a Pioneer Elite receiver. I seem to have an issue where I always have to turn my volume up to hear people speaking and then have to turn it down whenever there's any "action" going on because it's way to loud. Music is very loud as well. I have tried calibrating my system (both manually and automatic using the Pioneer receiver). Everything seems set fine, but yet...still faced with this issue. I guess my question is...is this normal if you only listen at low volume levels (I have a baby and a toddler so can't have it too loud at night), or is there something I should be looking at?

My receiver has all post processing turned off...basically shouldn't be attempting to utilize any eq settings.

If I need to provide more information, I'd be more than happy to.
