Robert.. I already bought the Infinitys + SVS Sub, and I will buy the second pair of infinity surrounds and hook it up to a speaker selector with OHM protection so as not to stress the receiver. Also the multiple subs are to lower the bass extentions of the mains down to about 24hz on all 7...

Anyway, in the past, I never even bothered to set speakers to anything past small since I always used tiny satellites before as mains and surrounds. Since I got these new infinity towers, a big center, dipole surrounds, one day I attemted to use them as large setting and do ONLY LFE for the SVS...

"When the sound engineer wants even more, they can elect to put additional bass information in the LFE channel, tapping into those big 18" drivers and what essentially amounts to more bass headroom." CONTINUED...

I always noticed when watching movies in theaters.. that some explosions and bass effects sounded more "dynamic" and louder than other explosions and effects. Before I could never create this dynamic variance in movies at home no matter what the wattage. I could never explain it and all my...

In both examples, playing the same scenes again while letting the SVS bass-mange everything, it did not have the same dynamics in explosions and bassy effects (all explosions/effects sounded about the same db). CONTINUED...

Example B: Empire Strikes Back, In the begining, when Han & Chewie go to search a meteor and find an Imperial Probe Droid, when they started to fire at it, the laser blasts and intial small explosions sounded good (front mains+yamaha subs in front), but when it self-destructed.... It gave HUGE...

Example A: Jurrasic Park 1, there is a lot of bass in this movie as it is, especially the T-REX Roars but... the T-REX footfalls seem to have "additional" bass. I could easily tell. And the footfalls seemed disctinct from the REX roars or jeep doors slamming. It had more "presence" and was...

When I hooked up 3 spare Yamaha 10" subs, that were laying around, to the fronts and then dedicated ONLY the LFE to the main SVS Sub, there was a feeling of discreet bass coming from the LFE sub (SVS). Some sound effects had this LFE.. while others did not. CONTINUED...

Example = In Jurrasic Park 1, when the T-Rex walks around, ONLY the footsteps kick in the .1 LFE Channel and seems more distinct vs when I have ALL speakers crossed over at 60-80Hz, which just just carries ALL bass including closing car doors, deep voices, etc., to SVS Sub giving it a "generic"...

B. Most people crossover ALL speakers (even full range) at about 60-80Hz .. but I notice a difference between doing this and having all LARGE settings and letting the SVS Sub handle ONLY the .1 LFE channel. The Bass seems more "dynamic" and not as "muddled" this way. CONTINUED...

A. I read somewhere that REAL movie theaters not only have discreet amps per channel, BUT ALSO discreet amps per Bass, Mids, and Highs per channel... and then ANOTHER sub for the LFE only!! Is this true..? CONTINUED...

My current setup: 2x Infinity BETA 40s (Floorstanding) 1x Infinity BETA C360 (Center Channel) 4x Infinity BETA ES250 (Surrounds) 1x SVS PB12–Plus/2 (set to 16Hz extension mode) I want to get 3x BIC Acoustech Cinema Series H100 Powered Subs for the fronts and some smaller 10" Subs (that go...
