Bowers & Wilkins HTM62b and CM5 bookshelf speakers

[n0rth]

HTM62b is the smaller center channel from the 600 series but I matched them with the cm5 bookshelf speakers. Noticing the htm62b while playing movies is drowned out by the the cm5's. Additionally - the dialog sounds muddled and hard to understand. I increased the volume on the center channel which helped but the center still doesn't sound that great. Anyone have any opinions on this particular center matched with the cm5's?

On all movies, or just one movie?

Some movies (especially action) may not have superb quality dialogue.

The other possibility is that the B&W center speaker isn't great.

Perhaps you could ask Best Buy or another dealer if you could try out another speaker in your house.
