Rated 5 out of 5 by from Denon DHT-S517 is just right The DHT-S517 has all the features I wanted and does them very well at a nice price: - The dialog enhancer really works and even made my wife happy. No more closed caption during shows. - The pure mode for music is my preferred listening mode and is clear, detailed and just sounds right. - The wireless subwoofer provides the low end at whatever level we want. - Dolby Atmos decoding with upfiring speakers makes it future proof as more and more streaming services are adding it.

Which soundbar is best for dialog clarity. Looking at s216,217,316 and possibly 517

Asked by: Ronnie10
Hello, They all do well with dialog from what I have experienced. It is quite a subjective thing to consider, however. Most of our current Soundbars offer dialog enhancement controls. The further up the line you go, the better the sound quality.
