people have lost their minds at movie theaters in this town
I’ve more or less stopped going to theaters because of this kind of nonsense. It was just as bad if not worse in Chicago. I used to see several movies a month. Anyway, my home experience is much better now so I don’t even miss it, and it can be done relatively cheaply. I have a few Sonos speakers an

My minimalistic setup
Went from a Sonos surround set (Beam gen2, 2x Era 100 and Sub mini) to the A9’s, with the purpose to enjoy active music listening. I am using an AppleTv to stream to sound of movies to the speakers. Active music listening went up from 0% to about 50/50 (music/movies).

Audio balance is weird
When I hear the narration / voiceover, it is mostly quiet and weird, like a background voice volume.
Looks like other people have this issue too?
I have a great setup, Sonos Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini. LG OLED TV, Apple 4k box….
Never had this issue with anything else.

Alternatives to the completely useless Sonos beam (gen 2) and surround speakers
As the title says, what alternative brands can I buy where I don't have to worry about the damn useless app that says every other day that I have no products and the next day it works as it should?
I would like to be able to listen to streamed music, preferably from Spotify. I also want good sound

Recommendations to replace old deviolet sound box
Sonos beam gen 2 is very good. Not an overpowering sound but plenty loud enough. Can add rears if you want to and even a sub woofer.

Samsung 5.1.2 soundbar and Pro setting
There is no clearly right or clearly wrong option. AV Amplifier mode allows for specific multichannel config selection, but you run the risk of incorrectly identifying how many channels you have (maybe one thinks they have 7.1, but this is a true 5.1 setup). If you select Soundbar, then you rely on

New Shield Pro user + LG C5 OLED
Yes, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is compatible with standard DTS Digital Surround 5.1. However, it does not support advanced formats like DTS:X or DTS-HD Master Audio. Still going to sound a hell of alot better then your tv speakers.

Best 300€ soundbar
I’m new to Hisense, but had a Sonos setup oh beam gen 2, mini sub and rear Sonos sl speakers, appreciate you might not have the room but going to the soundbar was one step up, going to full surround sound elevates it even further.
