In reality it's not that big a deal. Most content creators
understand this and don't put any significant content above

80 Hz


or so in the LFE track.

So it doesn't do this in DVDA/SACD?


My knowledge of DVDA/SACD is limited. However, I assume they
don't have an LFE channel and wouldn't have this issue.

Oh - one more question:

Let's say you have a 5.1/6/1/etc setup and are listening to

movies.

Given that this low-frequency cutoff effect is in place, what

is

the point where such response is virtually non existant in the
surround channels? This might be nice to put in the FAQ as if
there is virtually nothing below 50hz, for instance, then

buying

large surrounds is a moot point - just shop for 50hz capable

bookshelfs

and ther you go.


I'm not sure I complete understand your question.

There isn't any issues with the surround channels. Surround
output below the crossover frequency is routed to the subwoofer
output.

Right - but you are saying that it falls off rather than a
sharp cutoff. So, say a standard 80hz cutoff - at what point
is more bass moot for surrounds?
