Thanks for responding. I do have an old Infinity in the closet. I will swap them out this weekend.

Thanks for the reply. I have to ask... How do you tell if a speaker is out of phase??

First time poster, so please be gentle. First the basics: Front - RF-3 II Center - RC-35 Surround - RS - 3 II Sub - RW-10 Receiver - Denon AVR 1803 DVD Player - Toshiba SD 2800 My system is about four years old, and has served my needs very well. Recently I have noticed that when playing movies the conversation coming out of the center channel sounds "muddled", and at times I cannot understand what is being said. However, music or sound effects from the same speaker sounds fine. I was hoping someone could help me get the system back to it's original quality. Some background information: The center speaker sits on top of the home theater cabinet, directly above the TV (but has for years). I have used a sound monitor to re-calibrate the volume coming from each speaker. I am beyond the stage of needing to "crank it up", so I have a hard time believing the speaker is bad, but I guess stranger things have happened. Could it be the DVD player? Looking for suggestions. Thanks
