Default Newbie Subwoofer questions

"Consumer decoders take the LFE signal and add any channels in
need of bass management, as determined either by product design
or user selection. The five main channels are then high-pass
filtered at either a fixed frequency of 80 Hz or a selectable
frequency of 80, 100, or 120 Hz. The summation of the LFE and any
other channels is low-pass filtered at the same frequency. If the
crossover frequency is fixed at 80 Hz, as is standard in lower
priced decoders, information in the LFE channel between 80 Hz and
120 Hz will be reproduced at a lower level than it is recorded"


If one wanted the receiver to NOT do this "effect", what would they
look for? A better higher-end model, or some specific mode/technology?
