A sub to handle LFE is a
necessary part of the 5.1 production protocol. In the ITU/R standard for theater, there are 5 large, full range, directional loudspeakers (originally 20Hz-20kHz) and an LFE (originally called Low Frequency Extra, now Low frequency Effects) channel that is 10dB (originally 20Hz-120Hz, now 3Hz!) of headroom above 5, large, full range, directional loudspeakers. So as originally speced, the LFE channel is for dynamics and output, not unique information, and it is played through the sub.
