Does "THX-certified" matter for a Receiver?

Terminator 2 is the only THX-certified Blu-ray disc...yet it is so incredibly far from reference quality that its embarassing. Not to mention the vast majority of real high-end equipment is not even submitted for THX evaluation--I think that alone says something.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull is THX certified and if Im not mistaken so is Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And both of those films especially Indiana look and sound fantastic!

Thank you


this has a lot of useful information



THX - thing of the past,watered down years after,Adding More Cost then what your already paying for.



and it Looks like A lot of the Company's would Either put More of there Money In there Own Product then get A little THX stamp to show there product Works with the Scam of being "THX-certified"


interesting Post here,Should have had something like this asked here In a Home Audio Magazine and Get the word out that this whole THX thing isn't a real thing to worry about when purchasing your next Receiver.

THX studios etc.... is usually a big sponsor of those magazines. They don't want to lose all of that money!!!!

they'll let Bose run full-page-color ads!!

My mistake . Looks like my information was outdated by about a year. I should've known about Indy, what with George's involvement.

The point I was making still stands, though: THX has put their badge on many shameful products.
