THX vs. DTS

Hi.

I would like to get opinions on experienced ears who have had THX and DTS systems. I am thinking of getting a new receiver, perhaps a Denon and considering upgrading to THX. The problem is of course, it cost a heck lot more.

Does THX really make THAT much of a difference (2-4X the money!). I don't see many DVDs with THX around, is DTS enough for the next 5-7 years? I like DTS already.

Thanks.

Depending on the component, THX is not just a set of standards or certification. For speakers and amplifiers that is true, however for a processors/receiver to obtain THX certification, they must provide the THX decorrelation and EQ post processing. It's intent is to make the sound, particularly center channel dialog, similar to a THX certified commercial theater.
