I mean that's the point of a subwoofer. If you want to have actual low frequency response you will feel it. Obviously this setup is not compatible wiht someone trying to sleep in the next room.

Yes but too much dynamics, ie I want to set a volume level where the explosions are just a little bit loud, and still be able to hear the dialog.

The way it is in most movies nowadays, if I set a volume level where I can hear the dialog, the explosions rattle the walls and shake the floor. It seems crazy. Why isn't the dialog louder?
