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.

THX is simply a set of standards, The THX logo implies that the component or disc has met these standards (and paid all fee's to the THX group). Many components meet and exceed these standards even though they do not fly the THX flag. THX disc's do seem to sound better than non THX disc's, could be my imagenation?

Dolby digital and DTS: All dvd movies contain DD soundtrack, some also have in addition to DD soundtrack, a DTS soundtrack. I have yet to discover which sounds best as I have found that the sound quality is disc dependent and can swing both ways to my ear.
