Thanks for the responses. My system is in a large room (14 feet by 22 feet by 8 feet high) with wall to wall carpeting and curtains. The source material also seemed a factor. When I played another DVD the system was plenty loud.

I have a treadmill in the room and when I am running I play the system rather loudly, especially to hear the dialogue (also my wife has been away and I rather cranked it up).

I think what I'll do is increase the volume of the center speaker.

I should mention that I am in the process of buying a front projector and screen so I may be living in our family room over the next several months exercising both front projector and my Outlaw 950/770 system quite a bit.

Thanks again.

John
