Re: LFE channel panning?
What are you using for bass management? Bass management will do precisely that: catch low frequency information that the monitors of the main channels can't reproduce and divert them to the subwoofer (based on the idea that low-frequencies are non-localizable).
Are you soloing on the surround controller? If so, what you're hearing should be right.
If you're soloing in ProTools and finding that you hear full-range sound on the LFE, you should note that the LFE send in each track's panner does not filter the sound to the LFE bandwidth, and some monitoring setups will not do it either (DMU in Line-in, for example). You should have an LFE master fader with an EQ3 1-band in Highpass@80Hz and 24dB slope inserted.
