If you're a DVD/BD movie collector like me you're likely to have been less than thrilled by the audio quality of lots of discs in your collection. I'm especially talking about movies from the mid 1940s through the early 80s. Of course, there are a small handful of blessed exceptions: "North by Northwest" (1959) and "PJ" (1967). Indeed, at the moment nothing else comes to mind.

But if you do own such titles made between those four decades don't they usually sound compressed-and possibly with a somewhat noisy high end, if there is much of a HF response at all? Other aspects about the sound which you often find problematic?

But if you have spent at least $5K on L/R speakers and $1K or more on a center speaker, then on a scale of 3 to 10, with 10 being most satisfied, how do most of your oldest DVD and BD movie titles sound to you?

Please share make/model of those speakers.
