    After a little research, looks like I'm wrong and that the receiver/processor crossover setting does affect the LFE channel for most equipment. I read this in a couple different places. According to the article below, a receiver/processor crossover setting below 120 Hz will theoretically truncate the LFE channel. However, most LFE content is below 80 Hz, so that's why 80 Hz is a good balance between LFE truncation and integration with the other speakers.

    The whole article is good, but the "LFE Channel Integrity" section speaks to this issue:

    You learn something everyday! I'll start a new thread in the bass management forum on this.

    Wow - that is not at all how I thought it worked. A good article, and if accurate, changes many of my previous assumptions. Apparently I was incorrect as well.
