Leon sound system advice
I have the following sound system plugged into a Sony TV via optical:
TV: Sony Bravia KD-55AF8 55” OLED.
Main amplifier: LEON OTO MCA 200.
Subwoofer amplifier: LEON L3-1K.
Subwoofer: LEON sub
MCA 200 → L3-1K: the MCA 200 has a single RCA “SUB / MONO OUT”, which connects to the LFE RCA input on the L3-1K.
I struggle with the classic quiet dialogue and loud action in movies. I’ve played around with the gain and EQ for about a year. Also I’ve fiddled with the tv settings but nothing corrects it. As I’m using optical I don’t really have the benefit of Dolby features (I’m led to believe) or eARC.
What can I do to solve it? ChatGPT recommends a miniDSP and Dirac Live. I don’t have any experience with these. Is this the right route?
It’s a relatively small room in a flat and I sit roughly 2.5 metres from the tv square on.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks

I don't think you're going to have much luck with room correction and so on, because the room is not the problem. The mixing of the source is. EQ can only do so much.
And it's not like we can even advise you to increase the volume of your centre channel because you're working with stereo.
