It's even better than I imagined!!

All speakers can support the LFE channel to create a super subwoofer!
From the pfd: With ART, all the other speakers in the system can assist our main speaker to perform better. They help extend its frequency range and achieve the desired collective sound response at every listening spot. Similarly, the Low-Frequency Eects (LFE) channel can be distributed among all speakers capable of handling bass frequencies, creating a powerful, room-lling "super subwoofer" eect through the optimized, combined output of the eight speakers. However, typical surround speakers, which usually don't reach deep into the bass spectrum, might not contribute to supporting the lower frequencies down to 20 Hz.
