Agreed. My home theater uses 5.1 floor speakers run through a dedicated A/V receiver and I'm constantly messing with the volume between dialogue scenes and action scenes for most movies. The gear ain't the issue for this particular problem. Though I agree with OP's statement that any sound bar is going to immediately improve sound quality over any TV's built-in speakers.
