      It should reduce the difference between the quietest sound and the loudest sound in a movie, but if an actor doesn’t speak clearly in the first place, I don’t think it helps much.

        Yeah, that’s what I was getting at - many new / recent movies have such poor election that it’s hard to tell what they’re saying.

          Well, you gotta try it first to know if it helps or not. A lot of the time, it really is just the problem of the movie having an audio dynamic range that is too much for the sound system to handle. In those cases, it really helps when you compress that range to better fit your speaker’s capability.
