DB,
I agree with the 6 CH BYPASS situation.
I mean that when in digital BM, the crossover you select for the sats/sub, when sats are set to 'small', dictates the LFE filter also.
For ex., if you set the crossover @ 60 Hz., it also filters the LFE @ 60 Hz, NOT 120 Hz.
Since MeanGene has his crossover set @ 40 Hz, even though his sats are set to 'large', his LFE is being filtered @ 40Hz, and his subs are seing little info, except of LFE heavy DVDs.
