Thanks for this discussion. Have been contemplating this same subject. Will have the summer to finalize what to get. Maybe by then Blu-Ray will have a multi-disc player. (Yes, I am beyond lazy for wanting to quickly switch to the 2nd disc of a long movie) My problem is the sound carries through the townhouse walls. Had to isolate the sub from the concrete slab common for the building. (a thick rug was not sufficient) I, too, find voices too soft or drowned out by the music. I have to admit some of that is due to hereditary hearing loss in the speech frequencies. Present solution is headphones.

Any ideas on economical soundproofing?
