We all spend tons on our equipment. I have researched the problem with DVD audio on many sites. It seems that most movie studios are not paying to have the theater audio, re-formatted for home theater audio.
This results in low dialog, raising the volume to hear it, and damaging thunderous special effects as a result.
Its not my idea of a fun time to constantly have a remote in my hand.
I can't get one response from any movie studio.
