I have a Yamaha YSP 3300 sound projector bar and sub woofer which is about 10 years old. But as I get older, my slight hearing loss means the background noise seems to be masking the speech. There are very few adjustments on the remote, so I bought a Polk React which has speech enhancement. But it’s given me a dilemma. The Polk is like everybody is wearing a lapel mic such is the speech clarity, but I’m losing the atmosphere the Yamaha brings. I had them set up side by side and watched some TV. Football - Yamaha is like being at the match, but the Polk is awful. Music on Sky Arts - the Polk wins hands down for clarity. Films - the Polk is unnatural, but the speech is muffled on the Yamaha.
I don’t want 2 sound bars. Can someone suggest a decent soundbar or other setup where the ratio of speech to background noise is customisable depending on the content? Any help much appreciated.
