Probably not for movie soundtracks. Even when running speakers full range, there is often surprisingly little low bass going to the base layer channels if a LFE channel is utilized. In my system with a Trinnov and running 8000XE, 7200.2 with no filters, the system sounds quite anemic with the subwoofer turned off. It would be nice if you could direct some of the LFE channel bass to the speakers that could handle it.
