I'm all for moar speakers. So do it!
Usual rulez... On stands, at ear level, away from walls.
I am trying to sort out a 5.1 (5.0 actually as the bass might be a bit much) for the same reason, the smaller rear speakers will mean not having to turn the volume up so much.
I have also noticed a lot of movies might as well be silent movies. Crank my soundbar to full tilt to hear them speak.
But EXPLOSIONS , my god, rock the neighbourhood!

Usual problem, london flat, no chance, none at all.

Yeah, dialogue that's almost impossible to hear so you turn it up and then fucking BOOM or they play some music that's 2x volume of the rest of the film.

A lot of soundbars and AV amps have DRC (sometimes night mode) which boosts the dialogue and cuts the bass back on the explosions, etc
hippy

I was thinking with better speakers I might not need the whole thing turned up as much for the same clarity, etc. ie. instead of bouncing most of the shitty tv speaker sound into the cabinet I could aim better speakers at the sofa.
I doubt my TV could produce enough bass for them to get annoyed with, can only assume it's the higher pitched stuff. Much like the noises their friggin children make that I've never mentioned...
