I haven't bought that Dolby Digital encoding software yet. It costs almost a KiloBuck When I do, I plan to make a very extensive test disc.

I would tend to believe what that guy in the article you pointed me to says, that the low pass to the LFE takes place at the _lowest_ of all the low pass settings, which could result in a 'hole' in the bass region of the smaller speakers.

I've set all my speakers to 'large' except for my center to avoid this whole thing when playing DVDs. I set the center crossover to 150Hz so the image is sort of 'spread' to the left and right fronts, which takes the onus of the center speaker being a 'point source'.
