[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1074512, member: 13448"] Just to recap how this all works (as many of these articles are very confusing). 1. The audio engineers adds an LFE (low frequency effects) soundtrack that contains dedicated bass output. 2. If you have no sub added in your AVR settings, then your front speakers plays all bass notes (so that is the standard low frequencies plus whatever the sound engineers encoded into the LFE channel). 3. If you mains are ste as large, the minute you tell your AVR that you have a sub, the LFE channel sound is diverted from your main speaker to the sub. So mains only play standard low frequencies and the sub plays only the dedicated LFE channel low frequencies. 4. As soon as you set your mains to small, the low standard low frequencies are then also sent to your sub. So the sub now plays both standard low frequencies and LFE frequencies. LFE+ main sends the LFE frequencies now to both your sub and mains only if the mains are set to large. [/QUOTE]
