RE: Does THX Certified really mean anything?

69.30.72.240

I've heard that it does and that it is an expensive certification to get, therefore many manufacturers do not get it.

It includes some standards like a flat frequency response and an ability to go up to 115db (that is way beyond what makes your head explode) without audible distortion.

As we all care about inaudible levels of distortion, it probably does not mean much to us. But it is nice to know that your amplifier is certified not to have its screws shook loose when it is set to music at 115 db. I
think that's too loud for Sousa. The only thing I could listen to at that level would be polka, as the neighbors might blame it on the alcohol.
