Dogmatix,
Does your question imply that your receiver has both sub and LFE outputs?
I must admit that I hadn't made such a distinction, often referring to my sub output as LFE. But I see that the manuals for my Proceed PAV/PDSD pre/pro label the outputs only as sub, with no mention of LFE. The balanced sub output from my PDSD goes to a Velodyne SMS-1 bass manager (room correction) then via balanced line to a Velodyne HGS-15. That configuration, crossed at 80 Hz, provides the felt more than heard sound of a big pipe being invoked as well as the high level low frequencies in films. So, is there a practical distinction except as a separate track in the film industry?
