Home Theater Volume ?


Hello All~
So I am using a Technics SA-DX930 Reciver.Paradigm MM,CC350,PDR 8 & Cinimas rears. My question is -When I am watching a movie in Dolby Digital (or even analog) I have to crank up the volume to hear the dialog ,when thetre is a loud sene I have to grab the remote and ride the volume level. I have all of the speakers set to the same DB with the test tones. Is this just the nature of this amp or is there something wrong ? I want to watch a movie without the remote in my hand to ride the volume ?
HELP !

Power doubles for every 3dB, although assuming you don't exceed the speaker's power handling (not likely) and don't have audible distortion it's not an issue.

Most action movies are mixed with a huge amount of dynamic range. Big changes are normal.

If you can't hear the dialog at low volumes you have a problem of some sort (speaker placement and acoustics are candidates when the system is properly calibrated) with your setup.
