But in a different scene, the dialogue is perfect (slightly too loud), etc. I'll pop in another movie, and it won't have that problem. I'm starting to see the differences in how the sounds are put together for different movies. I like how the Sierras allow me to hear this level of detail. Now, when I say different movies, I mean movies from the 80's, then 90's, then past 2000, etc. But, yeah, I think the Sierras are very much up to the task of HT. Very much so. I'm listening at about -25 on average now I think. I turn it from -30 to -20, sometimes a bit higher, depending on the scene.
