ROFL!  I was just wondering if I would be missing anything with my Ep500 compared to the other THX certified subs out there.  BTW I don't know if I'm allowed to post this without permission, but here's something I grabbed off youtube showing measurements of a THX certified cinema very nearby. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD-422ffiMs

Got myself a pair of B&W PCS8 passive THX subs, which I power using a Parasound HCA 1200mk2. IMHO I prefer the SQ of my single EP500v2, but experienced the improved bass distribution of dual subs. I think I'll sell these for a 2nd EP500v2, but only if I can find a prestine and identical black circa 1998 EP500v2. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't think they were making them in 1998.

I have the Klipsch promedia 2.1 on my computer and they are THX certified. While they sound good for what I paid for ($100 used), it's nothing out of this world so I agree that the THX cert doesn't mean much. Plus, you having all your individual equipment THX approved doesn't mean nothing if you're not following all the THX placement and room treatment rules which for most is not practical.
