If your center channel speaker was broken or misconfigured, it would have exactly this effect. Most dialogue comes through the center channel. Also if one speaker was connected backward it would cancel out part of the mix.

That's interesting, thank you.

I do suspect for some media it's just that they expect me to listen to action scenes/intro jingles louder than I want to (maybe assuming a bigger room / TV further back?)

But I will keep that in mind - can't rule it out, my TV is pretty old, haha
