I had anticipated a few comments.
Some musings…
I believe systems w/7 or more channels is asking too much of one component** to handle all the HL and .1 signal and do it well.
*may also be too much for some hi-perf 5 ch systems.
**The larger, more robu$t offering$ likely exception$
What follows may send a few tomatoes in my direction. I realize available space/and or the WAF may come into play.
what I know the “.1” output:
- performs the “heavy lifting” (HL) for any channel the user “sets to small.”
- also the very demanding LFE information from 3hz* to (I think as high as) 200hz.
*you read that right - 3hz!
I’ve wondered how difficult would it be to allow the user to choose in addition to dual mono outputs* of both HL & .1:
- separate .1 & HL outputs.
- quasi-dedicated L/R sub outputs - the left performs all the system’s left channels’ HL, the right all the system’s right channels’ HL
*available to some now because it’s easy - additional RCA, XLR, or both
Thanks for reading this far…
