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.

I've got a good pre-amp/processer (Bryston) and can enable/disable THX processing. I hadn't noticed but currently it's disabled. Bryston says that it may enhance playback for content designed for large theatres. Not sure what that means. Anyway check out the manual on the Bryston site http://www.bryston.ca/pdfs/SP17_owners.pdf - the appendix B has lots of information on THX processing and how it relates to DTS and Dolby Pro Logic. Maybe it's just too much information. And I might actually start enabling THX processing to see if it makes a difference.
