so we meet again, Randyman!!

yes, I know it's likely the source. Only the Nine Inch Nails DVD has actually sounded 'right' to me in terms of center channel volume, and the Diana Krall DVD live in Paris DTS is almost right (i put it up 1 db).

I also wouldn;t think ohms would make a difference. Also, the VP150 is rated as more sensitive than the M22's or M3's (likely due to it's greater number of drive units).

Thanks Randyman!
