ok...i couldn't wait for the weekend. just confirmed that my copy of LOTR has exactly 10db hot LFE track. (also confirmed, while i was at it, that my 950 outputs no LFE while in DTS-ES, which is actually a good thing for me.)

Lena...thanx very much for the info!

soundhound: LOTR, disc 2, chapter 9, at ref level + 10db, your sub's amp might sweat just a bit.
