25 Hz filter on BD audio tracks?
Saw this over at AVSforum:
Pretty disturbing. Especially if it becomes a trend (if it hasn't already). 
A member in the PB13-Ultra thread brought up an interesting subject. He stated that studios are filtering audio below 25 Hz on new major bluray releases. If this is true I for one am really put out, as one of my primary motivations for upgrading to BD was lossless audio. Filtering out the deepest bass is in no way "lossless" by definition.
Movies mentioned to have this filter are some of the new release giants, such as Avatar and the BD of Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Does anyone here have more info on this? Just an evil rumor, a misunderstanding, or is this some lame attempt to short change the BD's we spend our hard earned cash on?
