both the producers of surround soundtracks (see soundhound's comments) and multichannel music discs (see the telarc link) use 5 full range speakers and a sub with no bass management to monitor the mix of the the masters. it only makes sense to play it back the same way...masses be damned.[/B]
Not all multichannel music is mixed this way although I wish it was. I think they use 6 full range speakers because I have at least four DVD-As that have high frequency stuff in the sub channel (Toy Matinee, America: Homecoming, Fleetwood Mac: Rumors, Eagles: Hotel California). They also mix stuff below 40 hz to the "5" speakers, especially when they place the bass drum in any of them. I believe the bass of a bass drum is below even 30 hz.
