Is it just me or has THX certification become a rarity amongst the totl units? What happened?
Marantz and Denon dont have any (new)THX certified units. Or am I wrong? Onkyo still has THX certified products. A select few high end manufacturers have it too.
I dunno'........I regard THX certification as a kind off 'external quality control' of the original manufacturers products. I think this is a good thing.
I still think that correctly calibrated THX systems sound way better than the other competing formats. Especially in cinemas. I recently went to a cinema that had a non-THX system.....it was absolutely awful. To loud, to screetchy....awful. The cinema boasted it had the newest and most advanced digital soundsystem on the planet. Maybe it wasn't calibrated.
Am I wrong in my thinking? To loyal to THX perhaps? Any enlightenment would be awesome.
