What the heck does that even mean???
Ni kama kusema, "for us who can hear better... you know our ears are special, we are better hearers..."
Hakuna kitu kama hio. Ni upus mmejiweka kwa akili.
Wengine ni watu wa HD vs 4K or 4K vs 8K.
And I have tested several and they fail all the time. Every time!! Mjamaa anajidai video expert but a simple test and he points at 720p footage and he says it is the real 4K and that it is better than the actual 4K footage.
Unaeza wekewa a very cheap speaker kisha uchezewe music hapo kisha iondolewe na uletewe speaker ya 800k na bado uchaguwe hio cheap one as the superior speaker. Unfortunately we cannot conduct this test.
I am not declaring myself an expert... But trust me it is a matter of value... I have spent a tidy sum on these systems but stopped a while ago when babies started coming.... I know what is quality sound... and therefore would know what is good to buy after listening to them... About HD vs 4K vs 8K... Certainly 8K is the best on paper... However, it should be common sense that garbage in garbage out --- if the source is not 8K, no matter how well the TV processor tries to upscale, you will not get a natural 8K output.... And since most of the sources are still at best HD... that is just enough for most normal viewing... If you have PS5, XBOX etc with 4K, you will certainly see the differences.... all factors constant (your eyes capabilities, lighting, settings on TV, distance from TV screen to viewer, etc)... This is science and can be tested, (in fact there are public tests out there)... But that is your preference and many times it is not value for money... For example, as I asked in another thread, I was about to buy an OLED TV (65") but decided to buy a Sony X90K instead) after analysing many parameters... Hoping to upgrade to OLED in the next couple or 3 years after OLED matures, prices drop and better quality sources present...
Put aside the audiophile part even.
Basic physics, to reproduce the entire audible audio spectrum needs different speakers.
And the lower the frequency, the more air one needs to move, which means bigger speakers or more cone excursion or both.
I'd really like to see one of these advanced TVs that can reproduce 20hz-20khz and find out how they defied physics

Problem with companies like Sony and LG is that they make a million assumptions about customers especially on home audio. The most frustrating audio product I have ever owned was a Sony. Back in 2011, I got that tall boy home theater. I could EQ nothing they gave me only the option of audio presets. Ukitaka kureduce bass unapunguza volume. I gave them away within 6 months after purchase.
Sony have good audio products don't get me wrong but I wouldn't touch their home audio without thoroughly testing them. Their STR AV receivers are great (I hear). But I wouldn't touch their home theaters, sound bars or even HIFI systems.
I am not an audiophile and wouldn't want to be.. it's a deep rabbit hole with no end in sight. I am a tech guy who is more likely to buy a Sonos and enjoy their clever audio engineering than build a system around some dope AV receiver. I am into spacial audio right now - thinking of pre-ordering the 2022 Amazon Echo Studio with an Echo Sub.
I am excited if my home speakers can detect a burglary than if they give me the best instrument separation.

The target for this is tens or even hundreds of millions... It is impossible to have all used expectations on such a product... They generalize and mass produce with very basic features... If you want specialized ones, you can ask them to manufacture them or go to the very few specialist companies for audio enthusiasts... As shown above...
Human beings are programmed to think that expensive = better which isn't the case.
Mimi hata siwezi kula high end hotel juu ya past experience. Afadhali ukule a cheap joint with more clients where the food moves fast. These are things you can only learn through experience. Afadhali ukule ile chakula ya kulunch box lady kuliko ukule in some hotels ulale ukibomoa choo.
Back to the speakers. YouTubers wamefanya blind test mingi on this subject but you can do them as well :

Bro tulia mazee... Like i have said its been 5 years na bado sijamaliza...Setup yangu ilianza nikiwa solo sa hii tuko wengi ....i need to get a dedicated space and upgrade the TV and the subs too... I will come with photos a time like this next year majaliwa! oooh alafu mimi kutoa movie zangu pale Rarbg ( Top.Gun.Maverick.2022.IMAX.2160p.BluRay.HEVC.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos) so the title itself should tell you what its all about. So i'm running on 7.2.4 full dolby sound.
Yes, most of those fellows are conmen. Hata headphones unaeza nunua very expensive $400 headphones na ziraruke within a few months. Kwanza kama ni American companies be very careful. Americans know how to market themselves lakini product ni

Kama hio SVS si naona ni small company in the U.S :

Tried and true big companies sio wabaya. But its your money.
Another factor is ununue sound system expensive but you are playing shitty downloads from the internet, then you start saying that the speaker ndio iko na makosa. You can also have a shitty sound system but a very good source. So unatembea kwa mtu anacheza an excellent recording on cheap speakers and the sound is great, so you then assume that your sound system is bad.

100% Made in Kenya!
Kutolewa makosa sio hatred. Si uliweka clip ndio tu judge? You've spent a good chunk of money on your set up and all I suggested is you add noise absorbing materials on the floor and walls so that the audio isn't reflected off the floor and comes back as echo and reverb. Echo and reverb cancel out the sweet sound from your system.
And from experience kama uko na family na neighbours hautawahi enjoy hii setup yako vizuri juu utashinda ukiambiwa .... punguza, zima hio makelele, ni nini mbaya na wewe? ... or even "I'm calling the police!"
Which is why family cinema rooms have become the new norm. Unajifungia huko na makelele yako. You could even play instruments in there. Hata cinema hall huwa imewekwa on it's own wing of the mall. In short if you decide to do things to a professional standard then you need real pros. For instance najua hushughuliki na vitu kama cables, converters na connectors na hio ni a whole topic on its own. Signal lose mdau.
Ndio ume download 100GB movie file. Tuseme iko sampled at insane bitrate but is your equipment delivering the whole output or signal? Pale juu nilisema kuna kupima equipment, equipment hupimwa, waveforms, sio kununua tu na kuweka speaker. Hio tena ni topic ingine refu sana tena sana. Hio iko na hadi PhD yake if we are talking pro level. You want that movie to sound like it was meant to sound.
Halafu pirated download sio the same na original blu ray disk. You don't know how the pirate ripped that disk.
