Reply to comment by reddit455 in Why is the sound mixing in modern TV shows so bad? by poet3322

I have my center channel cranked all the way up and I still use subtitles and basically everything. It’s the mixing; there’s no other explanation

Yeah, even if you blast the center or mute other speakers or whatever there are sequences you can't understand dialogue in some shows. Boosting center helps and is worth doing, but it won't fix it all. It's also obvious when you watch older stuff and have zero issues. Or when some shows you have almost no issues, and others you have many, on the exact same setup with the exact same settings.

Unless you have a center speaker made from an inferior speaker brand. Realistic brand anyone?
