THX,THX Ultra2

[Alpha Sixx]

I was looking at getting a new receiver well actually the denon 4380ci I was looking at the specs on crutchfield and it says it is not THX certified. But all the reviews are excellent on this receiver! Does THX certified even make a difference or is it some type of gimmick??? I have an old pioneer VSX 704s that I bought back in 96 or 97 and it is 175 watts x4 and it will blow your socks of with the raw power, volume and force it can generate I know it is quality of sound that counts and not just power. I refuse to get rid of it though because of sentimental value, it has even traveled to Iraq with me. Many friends have asked to buy it from me but still I refuse. It can easily fill not just a large room with music but any of the entire houses I have lived in. But it has no mention of thx on it. So does THX or THX2 or THX2 ultra really matter???
