re: Sound Bar Question/Topic

usually there is a 'late night' mode or 'audio enhancement' mode on soundbars. that is a 'feature' of the audio being mixed into louder sfx and music that sounds great if you have it cranked up but not so much when you're listening to it low.

i almost always have subtitles on these days; i feel like i've spent my whole life missing about 50% of the dialog in movies because with it off i miss some real dialog zingers.
