hi,

i couldn't do a real comparison between the result with and without lfe, but the short test i did sounded promising, so i thought i'd share my discovery with others so they can test for themselves.

about the lfe-frequency: AFAIR 120hz is the THX-guideline but a 120hz-lfe has got too much middletone-frequencies in it. and who cares for thx anyways? it's after all a specification for movie-playback, that's why thx-speakers aren't the best at playing music. if i had bigger speakers, i would set the cutoff even lower, like 40hz or 30hz so that only the real deep bass is being played on the sub. but i think that's a matter of taste. and my receiver doesn't create an lfe on multichannel-input (only if i let it downmix it to stereo and then use pl2, but that would be non-sense), so this is the only way i can get bass on my system.

edit: i almost forgot: thanks for the great guide, it makes the whole thing so much easier and gives great results!
