Pink grills in West Texas?? That must be a hit.

Where are you Bigjohn? I'm in San Antonio. One of my colleagues is from Odessa. If he saw your pink grills he would say "You're not from 'round here - are yoo?"

Also, I agree with you, Bigjohn, on the "turn up the center channel" fix. I had to do it for my wife after I had just calibrated based on how I liked the sound. Unfortunately, she has a much better ear than I - and when I got my Avia disc and SPL meter, she was spot on. Did you try just calibrating for her seat? I haven't tried that yet because she doesn't care that much about the surround effects - she just wants to hear the dialogue.

The Star Wars episodes I and II do seem to be mixed very loud in all the speakers except the center...

all this time you been in san antonio and i didnt even know it...now that aint being texas friendly?
i live in san angelo.. odessa is about 2 1/2 hours west of here.. my wife's family lives out there.. its an ugly town. i might be coming to san antonio here in a few months.. there are some concerts i am interested in seeing there, i just gotta convince my wife to let me go.. we will see what happens with that.

on the center, i calibrated everytihng to my listening position, then just boosted the center up 2db's. shannon can hear it good, and i actually think i like it better myself..
