Jim,



If you're looking for an excuse to get a new amplifier for your system, many of the contemporary 5.1 (or fancier) receivers/amplifiers have a "night mode" or "dynamic range compression" (D. RANGE and D. COMP in Sony menus) that do what you want. E.g.,

24-bit 7.1 sound reproduction or somesuch.

What amplifier do you have now?

I would have thought all TV's would now come with this feature.
