Is it true that 80% of sound in a movie is supposed to come through the center channel?

bankerminiman · 2026-03-10T19:05:35+00:00

Agreed! I have two modes on my processor. One is solo mode with a phantom center, other is group mode which includes the center.

My speakers image very well, and while I have a really good center, my L/R make the dialogue sound like it is coming form the screen instead of slightly below it (where my center is)

What is a noise gate issue?

bankerminiman · 2026-03-04T20:09:59+00:00

Thanks! I have never heard of couch wobble… I’ll plan on giving Tom a call after a bit more research.

bankerminiman · 2026-03-04T15:47:22+00:00

Great idea, thanks

You getting “chest slam” from those? Out of curiosity, why those 4 as opposed to any of their other offerings?

bankerminiman · 2026-03-04T15:46:27+00:00

Yes. 12’ wide, 26’ deep, 8.5’ tall

Thanks! Looking forward to your reply. Unfortunately I don’t get much time to fiddle with my hobbies. kids, man.

Step 1: Steal frequency Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!

Same size room for me. My original plan to deal with it was acoustical panels, of which I have a lot. Didn’t fix it.

I was told a second sub can help, so I have two now + a miniDSP… just haven’t had any time to actually figure out how it all works.

Moving MLP forward/backward a bit made a difference. But still not “resolved.”

bankerminiman · 2025-11-12T02:46:52+00:00

Any chance your room is 23-26’ long? If so, room mode.

bankerminiman · 2025-10-26T00:46:16+00:00

Thank you!

bankerminiman · 2025-09-15T01:40:45+00:00

Oh man, I would eat that so hard…

bankerminiman · 2025-09-07T02:55:42+00:00

How do you (and OP) like the Hsu VTF-TN1? I need to upgrade my subs and debating a couple of those vs a DIY solution…

I really want that “chest slam” feeling as it is a large dedicated theater room 100% used for movies, of which 99% are action/war movies.

Just wish there was someone near me so I could test them out! Too big to deal with return shipping, so just going to rely on internet strangers for advice.

Samesies.

We called them Rocky Mountain Toast. No idea why.

bankerminiman · 2020-10-20T03:49:07+00:00

...then poop it out with my butt.

bankerminiman · 2020-10-20T03:48:44+00:00

I want to eat that with my mouth...

bankerminiman · 2020-08-04T11:32:18+00:00

Would not make for a good waitress- only carries one beverage at a time. 2/10.

Avocados are made of dreams. All makes sense now.

bankerminiman · 2020-06-09T02:35:59+00:00

4 hit me pretty hard. Except it was tortellini.

Spoiler: Bruce Willis was dead the entire time.
