Comment on Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds?

  Bought a $600 denon receiver. Thoughts on a better one?

    For watching movies, there aren’t really any. Most any receiver is going to be more than capable of handling film surround sound. Don’t get the “upgrade fever” lol.

    Your issue seems to come from mixing. Do you have any EQ? That could help a lot.

    I have a denon 2700, it has a lot of the settings and adjustments as the higher models, but at a better price. I think it’s a gen or 2 old at this point. Unfortunately, most receivers under a grand are missing some features to really customize the sound. Most will add a feature to measure the sound in the room and adjust accordingly too.

    I have an Anthrm receiver and I’m pretty happy with it. I had a 2.1 system (L, R, sub) and was happy for a long time. Moved into a different space and dialogue got harder to hear so I added a center channel and it’s awesome again.
