I am having issues with vocal clarity while watching movies/shows. Basically, the dialog isn't clear and crisp like you think it should be. This doesn't exist when watching sitcoms, sporting events and things like that. It's just movies and premium series and stuff like that. For instance, following House of the Dragons is a pain in the ass. I have done a bunch of reading and watching stuff on YouTube but nothing seems to work. I have moved my Crossovers everywhere between 40 and 200 hrtz, moved my Center Channel off of the wall, replaced the speaker wire and even tried hooking up a Definitive Technolgy center speaker to see if it's my Klipsch center.
My Equipment
Receiver - Denon AVR E300
Fronts - Klipsch RP500f
Center - Klipsch RP500c
Sub - Klipsch SPL100
Surround - Atlantic Technology
Settings
Speaker Levels
Left -1.5
Right +3
Center +5
Surround Left -1
Surround Right -1
Subwoofer -8
Crossovers
L&R - 60
Center - 80
Surround - 80
When I go into the Audio feature of the Denon receiver and toggle the Multi EQ to Audyssey, LFE or LFE+Main, it does sound a little better but then there is so much coming from the Surround Sound Speakers. With that said, I run a 5.1 because the layout of the room doesn't lend itself to Atmos because of the location of the Projector due to a ceiling fan and then there are a few doors to the room.
The Klipsch speakers are a year and a half old, and the receiver is 8 years old. The surround sound speakers came with the house, and I have no idea how old they are.
Is this a matter of the receiver not meshing well with the speakers? Marantz has a 5.1 receiver, but I'd like to exhaust all options before I start throwing good money after bad. Thanks in advance and I hope you have a great day.
