If there was a place they were "supposed to" be set, there wouldn't be any need for a knob. The adjustment is there because things like the size and shape of your room, where the speakers are placed and where you're sitting, and even the volume you listen at, all have effects on the treble / bass balance. So, set them wherever they sound good to you. Answer from squirrelpotpie on reddit.com

Too much bass!
I have a newer ViZio with a somewhat older Yamaha HTR-5930 Receiver. I have a fire stick plugged into my Television, the sound works just ok, but way way too much bass that drowns out the voices of the programs. I’ve tried everything to no avail to adjust this. What am I doing wrong? More on forums.tomsguide.com

r/audio on Reddit: What should my treble and bass be set at?
May 4, 2022 -

I just got my first set of good speakers (Edifier R2000DB, I know it’s not as good as some of you guys’ but there literally the best things I have ever heard) and it lets me set the treble and bass, I mostly listen to 90s/early 2000s rap but I also listen to a bit of “white boy music” (everlast and kid rock). I don’t know what to set treble and bass to, can anyone help? Thanks heaps in advance.

I changed these 5 settings on my TV for instantly clearer dialogue
September 15, 2024 - The first and easiest way to attempt to fix the issue is to look at the most basic settings in bass and treble. The former is often a culprit of unintelligible dialogue because bass will tend to overpower the frequencies of dialogue, making it harder to make out amid all the other noise. Most basic TVs will have an option to lower the bass; do so until dialogue seems clearer.

Finding out Your Best TV Sound Settings | MantelMount
February 9, 2023 - If you’d like programmed audio solutions, then it’s more of a set and forget approach: standard, theater (this is likely the best equalizer setting for movies and television shows), music, and news (this option is good for news shows and tv shows with the bulk of the show that has crisp dialogue) are the most likely options with which you’ll be encountered. If you’d like a customized version of your tv sound setup, take into consideration what you usually watch: movies, comedy shows, dramas, or sports? Think about the treble and the bass of the in-show or in-game audio and the advertisements that might blow out the show or movie’s sound.

They are not flexible enough to compensate for the many factors I could name (room, speakers, hearing, source...) Kick up the bass slightly and see if it sounds better. But maybe only on some sources. If your hearing is damaged, you could try upping the treble a bit. Note that increasing the bass takes more power from the amp. ... There are no best setting for that.
