[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1767869, member: 38864"] What do you consider to be "best quality"? Are you happy with the "super loud" volume you get from the Roku? Here's the thing about dialogue... the center speaker in a surround sound system is where dialogue is largely directed to in surround sound systems. But you are using your TV's speakers, and even if that "technically" supports surround sound tracks like Dolby 5.1, you simply do not have true surround sound because the speakers are all in front of you. More importantly, the drivers are too small to give you adequate detail separated from the other sounds. The Roku may be using "tricks" to compensate for this by amplifying the center channel, but it's going to be at the expense of other sound details because you only have so much amperage to go around. My advice is to simply use stereo. If you want surround sound, get an AVR and some decent speakers spread out around your room. Only then will you truly have "surround" sound. [/QUOTE]
