I fancy a THX Ultra Amp. I know there are critics out there and I don't need to hear it. But I would ask you to consider this............
Only my rear speakers are THX Ultra rated (At the moment). Apart from the knowledge that THX amplification is generally of a high quality what gains would I get, if any, from my current speakers, i.e THX rated Amplifier not THX rated speakers all round.
If I turned the THX post processing on, would I still benefit from it.
My system consists of M&K's are of a very high quality, but they are not THX rated at the front. I have spoken to a professional installer today who says that the M&K's would be absolutely peachy even though they are not THX rated.
My rears are the SS-150 THX Ultra so there is no problem there.
Further and slightly more concerning, my S-85 fronts only go down to 85Hz upto 20Kz. Now the THX crossover to the subwoofer is 80Hz. Clearly my speakers will not go down this far (albeit only 5Hz, but will there be a hole in the soundfield from 80Hz to 85Hz.
Actually my manual states 85Hz +-2db so this could be better or WORSE.
Quite a lot there but your help would be appreciated. I have an oldish Yamaha 795 just now and everybody but everybody says that I am lucky if I am getting even 50% of the performance from my speakers that they are capable of.
That can't be true can it ? Sounds bloody good to me...even better out there.....I am drooling already.
Regards
