I am having a wee bit of a problem with my home theater dialogue. Ill start off with my setup. I have a denon avr 1910 receiver and it has the audyssey mic (self setting mic) so i know i have the distance right one of the main reasons i got the receiver. For speakers i have cerwin vega xls center,sub, and side speakers (plus the bookshelfs but i dont have them hanging or hooked up so they dont count) and pro studio fronts which=two 15s and a tweat in one 49" box. I would really like my sub to hit better and my dialogue to be more... dominant. I have it set on dolby and i like how everything sounds but its not moderated (as in the voices sound good and the volumes right and then a fire cracker blows up and the walls are shaking and your ears are bleeding). The setup is positioned almost correctly (two fronts with a center in the middle and the sides directly to the side of the listening position) im in a kinda small apartment so the sides are not directly to the side but both of them are facing the couch. Is their any quick fixes to this or maybe another center or anything.

So you have a mix of different speakers on the front?
Well the Audyssey system does compensate for different seating distances.
Let me ask - are you disappointed with 1 movie or on all of them? Some of the BluRay and DVD transfers have the center volume mastered too soft so dont be afraid of going into the Denon setup menu and adding 1,2,3 db more volume to the center.
There are some other things you can do:
* Use a laser pointer to see where the speakers are all pointing.
* The center should be pointing at your head.
* The left/right can focus 2 ft in front of you, exactly on you or 2 ft behind you. You just have to test each amount of 'toe in' to see which sounds best to you.
Subwoofer placement is critical. Find the corner with the longest un-broken walls extending out and locate the sub 2/5 to 1/3 along the longest wall as a starting point.
After you re-adjust the speakers, re-calibrate with the Audyssey system to compensate the volumes.
Try these first before considering purchasing anything new. Often just some attention to speaker placement can make a difference.
Hope this helps.

Just recently moved into this house and looking for input on best sub placement you can see where I currently have it and I am open to suggestions.

One way to figure it out is place the sub in your ideal listening position; play some bass heavy material... then crawl along the floor near the placement options for the sub, the place the sub sounds most clear and loudest is the place you want to place the sub...This will translate into the best sound from the sub while you are seated in the ideal setting position...
