improving center channel for dialog

[alternapop]

I did have a hearing test a few years ago. I'm not sure which numbers you're interested in or how to provide that info. Here are the ranges and the db.

500 = 30
1000 = 40
2000 = 50
3000 = 50
4000 = 55
8000 = 45

You would benefit from a hearing aid properly fitted.

As far as the LOKI I see the enclosure is NLA, just the other parts. So you would have to build it.

This would do the trick for you.

yes, I would benefit from using hearing aids but it's not something I want to wear every day.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is there anything for about half that price that would be a marked improvement for a center channel? ($200-400)

How about one of these?https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MYCHTBJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489614449&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=center+speaker+stand&dpPl=1&dpID=61UjNmQ3BcL&ref=plSrch
Or
I used this hvl for a center speaker in a setup I had and my ears enjoyed them: https://www.wavecrestaudio.com/products/hvl-1-two-way-loudspeaker-pair

I have one of those. Not saying it would fix the OP's problem but it does sound clear and neutral to me. Maybe a bit forward, but not a lot.

If anyone knows of someone who is selling already built
Seas Loki MKIII speakers then please let me know.

thanks

My center channel (DefTech ProCenter 1000) is sitting on a shelf I got at Fry's, about $20. I put the TV on a riser from Monoprice and slipped the Blu-ray player beneath the TV.

To be honest, your receiver is under-powered. The only other think I can think of if if you are using a PC/Windows. Then you should in the sound icon in tasks and then 'speaker setup' to ajust how your PC outputs.

Show your work?

What are the maths that bring you to this conclusion?

I wasn't sure if he was talking to someone from two years ago or Mr Magoo or what.....let alone what he meant by the avr being underpowered....maybe he's about to suggest a silly power cord or conditioner to get all the juice from the wall
