In Reply to: Do you find that your mains and center channel need a sub with a 5.1 setup? posted by Lonely Raven on March 27, 2000 at 09:51:03:
There can be quite a lot of bass in the center channel during explosions, etc. but I think they reserve the really deep stuff for the LFE channel. In the movie theater they don't have any limitations, so they can put bass whereever they want it. With 5.1 mixes on DVD, I think they route most if not all of the *deep* bass to the LFE, or sometimes a little to the mains. I would bet that if your sub is up to snuff, you should be fine as is.Some people have said that pans will be better if you have full range speakers on the front channels, but I would think it would be only marginally better if you already have the sub near the center, and especially if you have full range mains.
BTW, what is a folded horn on the sub?
