Hi,

I installed my M60's today (I'll save the details for another day) and once again fired up the LOTR (TTT) DVD. I stuck with the Dolby Digital signal and played with the center speaker level and finally was able to come with settings where dialogues became audible (loud and clear) from the center speaker.

+4 db was a minimum for clarity but my final choice ended up as +8 db on the center speaker. I dont have access to a SPL meter at this moment so I couldn't get the actual db of the front speakers.

I watched for a while and I was happy to not have to hold the remote in my hand all the time thereafter.

BTW, the DVD I have has 'FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION' subtitle in some scenes in the middle so I dont think it is the final release version. I think it is the pre-release version. Could it be that this version has poor center level ? I am going to borrow my friend's copy to see how that sounds. How about your version ?
