Agree, can be very source dependent

Even with some new movies. I think they don't expect you to be using a good wide-range center speaker. Anyway, I very rarely now have to adjust the center channel level, but can't you do that? Leaving the other channel levels relatively low, so that you can crank up the master volume? Surely that would work (and may be how it was at the dealer?). Also, make sure the center speaker is aimed at you when you're sitting, as best as possible.

Have you tried a phantom center? If the CC speaker is no clearer than that, forget it! I haven't tried a Ruark, but tried several others here. Found the Paradigm Reference CC blended/worked fine for me. This speaker apparently blends well with lots of non-matching speakers, at least from what I read in reviews after I bought it. Just a thought...
