I'd like to think that if I had FR speakers at all channels and a Sub on the LFE it would be better. Its what Grammy and Dolby recommend in a proper mix environment. If accepted knowledge is that Sats and Subs are still better there should be more options for identical speakers for 5-7 ch systems and include multiple subs with Room EQ. - Bill Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:41:01 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/technical-articles/156--miscellaneous-ramblings-on-subwoofer-crossover-frequencies.html#comment-1429 Yes, you have assumed correctly. If the original soundtrack is composed as 5.1 surround, then you need to activate (in the player) the summing of the LFE for stereo playback - it may be called mixdown or Lt/Rt in the menu options. good read also - thanks! I find it surprising how many people do not realise about the audibility of harmonics in the subwoofer driver. - Simon Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:55:11 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/technical-articles/156--miscellaneous-ramblings-on-subwoofer-crossover-frequencies.html#comment-1233 Brilliant article. Thank you. Does this explain something that is nagging me with my stereo system when watching films : my speakers use single full range drivers with a lower frequency cutoff at 57Hz and on most CDs, the bass is light weight but still very present but very clean and true to life. When I swtich to DVD, there seems to be no bass at all ! The audio settings on some recent DVDs give you no option but THX. Is this why there is no bass ? Is it directed to a channel I am not getting and not feeding my amp ? (my DVD player has a standard stereo RCA output feeding the line input of my amp and it serves as CD player as well. I don't have a 5.1 receiver) Thanks again. Wonderful read. - Pascal Jappy Sat, 15 Nov 2008 06:09:45 +0100
