I have problems with some DVD soundtracks with vocals that are much too quiet. I am using the VP50 center with M22 mains. It depends on the disk and the movie it seems. Most movies are okay, but it seems that dramas are more prone to this problem. I just watched Beautiful Mind last night and I had to crank up the volume just to hear anything. Compare that ot watching Saving Private Ryan today and I had to bump it down a few times it was so loud.

Placement hasn't been an issue for me. I really think it's the sound mixers.
