Question about THX dvd movies and THX select receivers
Do THX select receivers make THX digitally mastered DVD movies sound better? Or is it all just a big gimmick.
Will I hear a difference if I play a THX movie with a non THX select receiver compared to when playing on THX select receiver?

THX is a certification for soundtracks, equipment, theaters and now even car systems. It just says the labeled product meets THX's standard for this kind of product.

There is such a thing as THX processing in some THX-certified equipment, but it has nothing to do with the actual mixes used on the DVDs themselves. dts, however, has been accused of cooking some mixes to make them sound different from their Dolby Digital counterparts.
