Times when there is too much LFE...


Master& Commander cannonball sequence, LOTR trilogy, any Pixar movie, etc. All have some spectacular LFE. My system has never had any problem handling. Though it is 70/30 HT and is based around Definitive Tech speakers, I have done my homework re crossover pts, room graphing, acoustic treatments etc. No major room modes when all was said and done. In summary, it has handled everything I've thrown at it...Until now.

I rented Iron Man the other night, and was actually watching at a lower volume due to my son being with me. Several scenes, when IronMan first appears for example, the LFE seems way too loud compared to the rest of the sound. I went and adjusted the volume on my sub and also the powered subs on my towers.. Still it seemed the lfe was way out of sync.
Walls seemed to shake, Drop ceiling vibrations, a yell from my wife, etc...The depth charger scene in UB571(forgt the name) never even did this. Any thoughts>

I watched Iron Man on a blu-ray disc the other day and also thought there was something wrong with the bass.
