People hear what they want to hear.

I hate it when I'm watching TV in the front room and my wife is in bed because I'm trying to hear dialogue on the center channel and then someone gets shot or an engine revs and the whole house shakes because I have to have the volume jacked up. or else it gets too quiet to hear the dialogue that is coming out of the center channel. Then my wife gets pissed and bitches at me to come to bed, but I don't want to come to bed. I want to watch TV.

Is there any general advice for this or would I need to go into detail on my setup?

There should be something called dynamic range compression (DRC) or 'night mode' on your reciever. Set it to one of the other options than full and it will maintain the same voice level, but the loud stuff like explosions wont be as loud.
