They absolutely do help with dialogue, as I know and as u/nilsy007 does. You didn't know what they were five minutes ago so any claim that they don't can be safely ignored as you literally have no idea what you're talking about.
Going back to his original comment, your reply that "everything you wrote is wrong. Like , factually wrong." can similarly be ignored.

Highly disagree on Always Sunny, they have one of the funniest pilots imo. The show was still finding itself (Dee was so much better when they made her as deplorable as the rest of the gang), but the first season is still better than most comedies.

thank you for finally provide a relevant link.
Yes these are fine speakers.. for music. They will do nothing for the level of dialogue from your TV. Which I believe was the original topic here.
And remember, all of this could have been avoided if you'd just started by saying you were connecting a speaker set to the headphone output, instead of me having to pull out bits of information piece by piece until I finally get an image of what you were trying to set up.

They would be marketing the hell out of that if it was. The creators will obviously know by now and HBO won’t leave any viewership on the table by not telling everyone it’s the final season.

Here's the first result of the Google search for me: https://www.richersounds.com/pioneer-dm40.html
They don't look like tiny PC speakers to me. And s you're apparently having difficulty understanding how they connect there are handy photos too.
Now let's recap. You said speakers couldn't be attached to a TV, I said they could. You asked how, I said using 3.5 mm. You said that must be one speaker only (???), I said it's both. You asked what type of speakers, I gave you a Google link. You couldn't be bothered to at millions of results that show you. I've now given you a direct link to one of them. You said they must be "tiny PC speakers" despite that being irrelevant to your claim that no speakers can be attached to a TV. The link shows that they aren't, and it wouldn't even matter if they were.
So what goalpost are you going to move next to try to avoid admitting you're wrong?

Active means that the speaker has a built in amplifier. That can range from tiny PC speakers like you got in the 90´s with your tower PC, those have one 3.5mm jack plug usually, and up to professional studio monitors, like I´ve owned, who connect individually with a balanced jack or xlr cables. And also like I mentioned before, large speakers with arc support through HDMI
You have not told me what kind of speakers you claim you are connecting, you just hammer on saying "active" like that is some magic word.

> But the way that Nolan and friends use it is absolutely ridiculous and way overdone
no, i'm sorry, but there's not a single line in Nolan movies that you need to hear that can't be heard. none.

Of course having some dynaminc range can be good. But the way that Nolan and friends use it is absolutely ridiculous and way overdone. That's what makes it so annyoing, even if there is an artistic/realistic aspect to it.

63 years of perfectly crafted storytelling. Every episode seamlessly fit in with everything that came before it. Truly a work of unparalleled art!

Yes and it was head and shoulders more funny than the first episode of most comedy shows. It’s always sunny, the office, parks and rec just to name a few; their first episodes were not funny stand alone. It took quite a few episodes with a few of them being outstandingly hilarious to even get into the shows, then after being familiar with the humor in the show the first episode for those shows gets a few chuckles out of me.

>sure, IF you have self powered speakers, you can connect ONE to the phones out port, that's not ideal though as I´ve mentioned. if you want to connect TWO you'd need a mixer in-between.
You obviously haven't, otherwise you as a so-called "audio engineer" would understand how active speakers work.

I will not stand for this! Supernatural is famous for its inflexible continuity.

Would you say it's at all better than the previews? Because I made the decision not to watch based off that, it looked absolutely terrible which is a bad sign when you're trying to put your best foot forward.

>>Right... coming from the person who doesn't even know what active speakers are, that means absolutely nothing.

10 minutes into The French Connection (1971) two characters have dialogue about going out for one drink and as soon as it's decided we cut to a significantly louder club scene.
it's not a bad thing. it isn't 'annoying', it's good, it even lets the sound drop in favour for non-diegetic elements for the purpose of storytelling after a bit.
it's not new and it's really not a bad thing. if you really are worried about loud stuff being too loud, wear headphones and cap the max. you won't have to raise the sound or touch it because even a whisper can be heard.

HOW'S THAT ASS FEEL?
The first ep of IASIP is classic.
