Bass in LFE vs Individual Channels

[davidc]

So all the channels are full frequency which is actually what I experienced when running a system without a sub for 15 years.

The LFE seems to be an extra bass channel on top of the other channels.

I run a 5.0.2 system and from what I understand the LFE info is distributed to the main L/R channels. It must be because when watching a new series, The Sandman, the bass was so low and so loud that it knocked the grille off one of my VMPS Supertower III's tonight!

depending on mics , i know and even tested , ohms meter etc mic arrays are great for alignment currently x15 but had project idea for x24 if i can be asked to finish it , i have two cats to look after

LFE.1 i doubt you listened to it on its own , mute all other channels and listen , if you can spot it , you'll think oh don't like the sound of that ? , listen on headphones oh that's interesting

Oh, but I did! And not just LFE. I once watched my favorite movie (which I have been watching on a daily basis for 30 years now) 6 times in a row, playing it channel by channel. One scene carries music in the surround channels that doesn't belong there at all, buried in the tape hiss, and can only be heard when I listen to it channel by channel. Another movie occasionally has full spectrum on the LFE channel (Full HD version but not UHD), which I would never have known if I hadn't listened channel by channel.
Beautiful pictures btw...
