I hate DTS it has so much Dynamic Range

Let me explain...

I live in a fairly small apartment and I run my audio through a rather simple 5.1 home theater in a box setup. The receiver is capable of playing both Dolby and DTS. I am always worried about annoying my neighbors so I never like too much sound. Movie that use Dolby Digital or Dolby TrueHD I can usual find a decent balance and have everything at the same level throughout. However, no matter what settings I use, I always have to constantly fiddle with DTS during the movie. The dialogue is too soft and sound effects and music cues are just too loud. It is no fun trying to relax during a movie when you constantly have to adjust the volume.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Would my settings for Dolby True be that far off from DTS? I'd appreciate any advice you could give on how best to use DTS at a lower level in a small space.
