but also investing in actual speakers instead of a soundbar or the tv’s speakers.
NO God Dammit, just NO. It’s completely unreasonable to expect a full multi speaker 5.1 or better surround system on every fucking TV so people can comfortably hear the dialogue! There’s absolutely no reason that a quality soundbar can’t provide a decent audio experience. NONE.
You’re really passionate about this, so change your audio setting to stereo and you’ll notice an improvement. A 5.1 system isn’t required, but it dramatically improves your viewing experience. You can get an affordable used system in a lot of places. I suggest checking the thrift store. In some areas the thrift stores are just a garbage dump, but if you check the nice areas periodically then you can build a great 5.1 system over time for just a couple hundred dollars or less. I’ve seen Polk audio subs for $10, Klipsch floor standing speakers for $20, Yamaha home theater amps for $10, and a bunch of other great deals. Half my system is from the thrift store, but it was all from there until not too long ago.
