Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Dialog Inteligibility with VP180

IMO, you shouldn't have to turn up center channel volume to hear dialog. If you have to, something is wrong. Using a VP150 as center, I didn't have any problem with dialog when I was near the main listener's position in my room, and after I substituted the VP180 a couple of months ago, I could also hear dialog plainly in two adjacent rooms. I'm one room away right now, actually, and I can hear every word from my TV. I agree with other posters that he should test the VP180 outside of any additional acoustic barriers, to eliminate the possibility that the cloth or decoration are causing a problem.
