Watched TH: TDoS last night & the LFE was a massive letdown, glad I had seen the graphs & kinda knew what to expect especially since the first was also a let down LFE wise, it's such a shame because the rest of the soundtrack obviously had a lot of love and attention poured over it.
The scenes with Smaug were where I really FELT the filter limiting the hard hitting, low bass that made the scene lack impact aurally. (I Loved the film, picture quality & rest of the sound design btw)
I do wonder if the future extended release will also have the same wildly different bass implementation on the new scenes that the first extended release had?
