[QUOTE="joel, post: 33432, member: 406"] Personally and depending on speakers I would use LFE but not for the reasons already mentioned. Most A/V receivers are over rated power wise, and forcing them to play a full range signal (including taxing low frequencies) is a waste of precious amplifier power. By selecting the appropriate LFE crossover frequency you let the amps in the AVR run cleaner for longer while the sub frequencies are handled by the dedicated amplifier in the sub. Even if the sub amp is driven into distortion overall fidelity will still be good. On the other hand, for stereo I believe in running speakers full range as here integration is of the utmost importance. [/QUOTE]
