Guys, thank you for your thoughts. Now, at least, I know that this appears to be a relatively common phenomenon. And Patmatt, my audio-only systems are separate from my HT system and this seems to be yet another good reason to keep it that way. :)
I'm still curious to know the specifics of the apparent differences between HT and audio-only bass equalization. If the audio curve is flat, then the HT bass curve must be down from flat below 50 Hz, which would require additional bass boost to achieve flat response. If no one knows the answer here, I may write to Dolby Labs and see if they can give me an explanation.
