soundhound: i am confused. first, you say that you do not make use of the lfe. then you say you re-direct the lfe through your mains and low pass it to stereo subs.

if that is correct, you DO make use of the lfe, and your setup would be one that is preferred by some. i personally see no difference in this setup vs. the standard setup of lfe plus under 80hz summed and sent to the sub other than your belief that sub 60hz has ambiance in stereo vs. a good mono sub.

the question i have is simple. exactly how do you "re-direct the lfe to the mains"?
