I think I have an idea of what he's referring to.

If you have the correct speaker spacing, and are standing in the correct
spot, the sound waves from multiple sources will combine and reinforce
each other. This includes subsonics.

I've totally forgotten what this is called, but this is the only
explanation that I can think of.

Using a quality rating that does joint stereo might cancel the effect.
My guess is that the too low of a setting was used and joint stereo was
enabled.
