[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 866771, member: 34"] LFE stands for Low Frequency Effects channel, which feeds the subwoofer. That is the ".1" in 5.1 or 7.1, and the sound sent to the 5 or 7 channels is full-range, while rumbles and doef doef come out the ".1". But, as discussed above, few speakers actually have full-range capability, so they added the large/small setting for each of the 5/7 channels, with the sub taking over low frequency duties where these speakers can't handle it. (I'm just rehashing some of what was said above). The receiver should give you the option of selecting the frequency at which the discrete channels hand over to the sub. How this is implemented varies amongst receivers, especially early models. Some even allow you to send bass to the sub and to the other channels simultaneously (i.e., the same bass information). Unfortunately (or fortunately), the best remedy is to "know thy receiver /system" and discover for yourself what configuration would work best for you. Change your receiver and you may have to start at the beginning again. [/QUOTE]
