I don't think average TV audio gear is the problem. We have excellent audio gear, and the fuckwits who make the content are letting actors get away with (whispering). Lazy shits.
Audio is all over the place from streaming sources. It's like the last 80 years of knowledge was forgotten.
Ray Charles (and other real artists) made his mix engineers listen to a song compressed in mono and bandwidth chopped because he knew most of his fans listened via AM radio.
Make those fuckers listen to their own shit. Or the assholes giving those other assholes money.
For the perfect example of the whisper problem watch any episode of Star trek discovery. The main character whispers almost every line and it's very disturbing.
