    Does that mean I’m a nobody? Lol

    For real though, I’m so glad to have a 5.1 speaker setup, it solves the problem of too many channels coming out of two speakers on the back of the tv. I can hear rather clearly and only use subtitles for foreign language content.

      Even with a 5.1 setup, I feel like I don’t get enough dialog out of my center channels in most shows/movies without everything being unbearably loud.

        Do you have control over the center channel? Should be able to just turn it up

            Everything is mixed for a real home theater. You’d have to make adjustments when your setup isn’t that. Can’t make a mix for every use case. That’s why relievers have settings, tuning, and basic setups.

              The point is that you can make a mix that’s a lot better than what we often get these days. We know this from experience. It used to be common. The average mix quality has very clearly declined over the past couple decades.

          Yeah, I definitely can and likely will at some point, but I used to not need to. Oh well, I don’t think things will change any time soon.

      Consumers and manufacturers have prioritized giant, beautiful TVs over sound. Studios and streamers have prioritized 5.1 over stereo. It’s a perfect storm. I agree that you can make things quite a bit better by breaking out that center channel. Heck even a 3.1 system will do the trick.
