Question by Brian H: Home Theater center channel sounds muffled?
OK, here is the story. I had a Sony Dream Theater “Home Theater in a Box.” I started getting a high pitch squeal from that system. I determined that it was coming from the receiver/dvd player. I bought a Harmon Kardon AVR247 7.1 surround sound receiver to replace it. I figured that I would be OK with the old speakers. They are 4 ohm. I am assuming that most home theater speakers would be 8 ohm. Everything seemed to work OK to begin with, but then I noticed that that the dialogue was very difficult to hear especially when watching HD channels that were encoded in true Dolby Digital. I found that when I turned off the center channel and the audio normally piped though the center channel was sent to the Front L/R it sounded much better. That’s the history. The question is… Should I expect issues when using the speakers from the “Home Theater in a Box” speakers with my new receiver? Are the old speakers designed for use only with the Sony box?

Answer by SgtPepper
Try connecting another of your surround speakers in place of the center speaker and see if everything works fine or not. I suspect a blown center speaker’s high frequency driver (tweeter).

Secondly check the settings of your center speaker in your reciever. Are all the parameters correctly entered ?

A word of caution – Don’t drive your present speakers at very high volumes. You could end up ruining your equipment.
