Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation


I have an Anthem 1120 receiver running a 5.1.4 system. My front speakers are Paradigm 85F with a Paradigm 55 C as center channel. When I play a movie with a lot of heavy sound effects the sound gets really loud during the sound effects and my family objects when it get very loud. If I added a 3 channel amp can I play at a lower volume and be able to hear and understand the dialogue. I start at a fairly loud but not blasting level to hear the dialogue clearly. I want to still be able to enjoy the sound effects but at a lower volume setting. Thanks

Just get a compander. Movies are mixed for big rooms like theaters.
Even a Terk VR-1 will help but you can do much better.
OR   
Move into a barn.
I cannot fathom how adding an amp & speakers would limit dynamic range.
Enlighten me.
