2 Channel or Multichannel-update

[superpanavision70mm]

How exactly do you figure that my fronts and center are a mismatch? Have you listened to my setup? What is the basis for your conclusions?

To answer another question...the difference between music and movies mainly has to do with the levels of each channel, which most people have their surrounds cranked up way too much for movies. There are lots of ways to tinker with any system whether it be with speaker distance, crossover, EQ, channel level, etc etc. I like to sample music when I calibrate and use that as a reference point rather than test out movies.

Here is what I saw,
you have PSB Image 7PT for your fronts, unknown Athena for your center. I dont care to find out what type of drivers are used in those spekaers, but assuming you have differnt woofers/tweeters they are mismatched.(my opinion) Drivers material, size, and other orientation will result to differnt tonality. If you think other wise, you shouldn't look any farther than radioshack for your audio needs. Yeah you can adjust output level with your receivers and calibrate all you want. But your Athena and PSB will exhibit accordingly. Have you not noticed this? Your favorite artist/actor will sound like he's starting to catch cold in Athena and diarrhea in PSB. Tell me, what can you do to make all of your speakers produce same sound characteristic besides turning it off?

If you had modified all of your speakers with same cabinets, drivers, crossover, wires, and others. Then I apologize.
