I've really had it with too low voices...

Maybe I missed something, but, what speakers are you using for the front soundstage? That might tell us something about the sound quality and voice balance.

Likewise, I was watching a James Bond flick on universal HD yesterday, and the voices were almost unintelligible. The preamp indicated the soundtrack was coming through in (and played back in) Dolby Digital. Any ideas what gives there?

Standard Dolby Digital can be 2.0 to 5.1.

To the OP, have you tried a different speaker for the center? Try swapping the cables or physically swapping the speaker if you have another speaker of similar size to see if that makes any difference. Have you verified that something is not damaged on the center speaker? Have you verified that this speaker is hooked up with the correct phase relative to the mains? (+/-)

But why would that effect me using only the 2 fronts?
