>Hi Brian. The technical specs for LFE are different for the 2 formats. I don't know why this decision was made; perhaps just out of spite. It doesn't make a lick of sense, but perhaps it stems from the fact that each formats maker wants theirs to be the only one to succeed.<

Can you point me to any links on that?

What I have noticed with the hi-rez titles that I own (on both formats) is that if there are specs and standards, the folks doing the mixing sure seem to be ignoring them!

I have discs with no .1, discs with double bass (.1 and main channels), discs with almost all the bass in the .1, and all points in between.
