If you make a movie you make it with multiple audio tracks (lines), often there are dozens of lines for cinemas and more for IMAX. If you mix all those lines together, e.g. to 5.1 for home cinema you'll lose dynamic range. Now if you mix it into 2 lines (stereo) this means you basically have everything (explosion, whispers) on the same two lines for left and right and that's why you either need at least a front speaker for dialogue (so only effects are muddy but voices are clear) or bear with it.
Or studios could go back to properly mixing their audio when making versions for home setups
They do for 5.1, which is a pretty common home setup, even 3.0 or 3.1 works quite okay with it. How many people do actually watch movies with a stereo setup nowadays?
Everyone with a sound bar. Depending on the sound bar you might have a dedicated base - but you might not.
Most sound bars have more than 2 channels nowadays.
Really? TIL.
I have a center channel. New shows sound like crap. Old ones sound great. It's not people's equipment.
Most people I know use their TV speakers. Maybe sound engineers should engineer the sound so that it sounds good in stereo OR 5.1
Anyone with a perfectly good tv that doesnt need a sound system.
There are no TVs with built in speakers which don't sound like a tin can.
