I see this question a lot and the answer is always highly specific to what equipment you have. It looks like turning up the center channel was a solution for you.
Another thing to try would be setting the crossover on the center channel so that it doesn’t play anything below a certain frequency. Most center channels aren’t made for bass so trying to make them play it muddles them. The room correction should be doing this but they’re weird sometimes. Some let you choose the exact frequency and others have a small/large designation for each speaker. With ‘large’ being able to play lower so you might try ‘small’ if that’s a thing. I’ve also found that using the room measurement/correction feature locks you out of certain settings sometimes. So that’s a pain…
My center channel is a massive quad woofer, dual tweeter monster…dialog isn’t an issue for me. It’s actually turned down 3dB. I also suspect part of this is D+…cause I own that movie on Blu-ray and the 7.1 DTS-HDMA track there is fine.
