In reply to:
And does the THX feature really worth to be had
THX is over-rated.. i mean, most amps/receivers that are THX certified are usually good, but it dont make a receiver "bad" if its not THX certified.. its just a standard in the industry, set by Lucas Films, that means a particular receiver meets the qualifications to be certified. its not an actual DSP mode, or audio function.. it just means that the receiver meets all standards that Lucas thinks is best for viewing HIS movies..
please, do yourself a favor... dont base ANY decision on if a receiver is THX certified or not. its just an industry plot to make guys like us feel obligated to pay more for a receiver..
good luck in your decisions..
and not to confuse you even more.. but i saw on Ecost.com, the
Onkyo 601 was only $240 bucks.. thats a great deal on a real good receiver.
