I can't seem to get around this...I love my Axioms in every way but one. The bass output of my VP150 sounds weaker than my fathers Bose lifestyle 48 system. How can that be? It is especially prominent with male dialogue. His Bose system sounds very, for lack of a better term, movie theater-like. Whereas my system sounds weaker, and some movies have very shrill high end dialog that is slightly irritating and sometimes creates a little distortion in the tweeter. Is this just the axiom style? Or is there some deficiency in my setup? Frankly this has been bothering me for a long time, how can those crappy little speakers sound so much more theatrical than my axioms? Is there something I can do to improve dialogue bass? I've seemed to play out every scenario within my Yamaha V2600 and nothing works. Is this what people have been talking about axioms being "accurate"?
