Buying a thx avr is it worth the price?
Question: dts-es and/or dd-ex compared to thx can you clearly hear the difference?
Answers: Simple, THX is not an audio format like Dolby and DTS. THX certified receivers earn their logo by passing a series of rigorously test like for example 4ohm overload . some receivers will have THX programs but their frequency algorithms are encrypted hidden, my advise: THX logo usually means good quality although many AVR's don't have the THX logo and their good as well.
The best answer for that question is a question. Do your ears think that there is clearly a difference? Some people can't hear a difference from a high end system from a K Mart blue light special, others though can hear almost imperceptible differences. So it all really depends on what you think. I can just say that THX is supposed to be the ultimate in home theater experience, but I think that the standard has really dropped recently and now more products are being THX certified and I just don't know if they are all legitimate or not. Anyway, I would recommend that you go to an AV specialty dealer that allows you to listen to what different receivers can do as well as different types of speakers. Also, speaking of speakers, since you didn't say anything about speakers, I'm going to assume that you are not replacing any existing speakers that you may already own. In which case, if they are not THX certified as well then my suggestion would be to NOT go with a THX AVR. Anyway, let YOUR ears be the judge and you won't go wrong but just in case be sure to ask whatever dealer you go to if they have a 15 to 30 day exchange policy. Just in case you take it home and it doesn't meet your expectations. Good luck!
I agree with the first answer if you can tell the difference then by all means go for it.I listen to alot of movie soundtracks and classic music in my car and i notice the difference right away with different speakers and sub set ups in the car hence i buy high end speakers and etc, At home i do the same i do notice little things missing in cheap in the box systems and tend to go for the higher end.I have a thx reciever and bought all the dressings with it ie speaker wire and connections etc.After all that money i spend it realized that the place where all this stuff went (in my bedroom) that i lost a lot of the sound quality i was looking for because for one my room is odd shaped, and the furnitureof different heights and the carpet all this helps to rob you of sound.o if you wish to truly enjoy that THX reciever you must also prepare your place for it soundproofing and etc, spend some time with a home theater expert and tell him what you watch/listen to etc and see if you really need to spend that kind of dough first, maybe even sample some different home theater systems in some of the showrooms first it might save you some cash and you'll stil get the sound you crave.
if you can afford THX certified speakers to go with the new reciever go for It you can hear a difference if its complete Ive tried it with my regular speakers then when I switched to THX I noticed a difference
