THX is a trade name which shows that your home cinema has high fidelity audio and visual capability. It was derived by Lucasfilm, which is owned by George Lucas, for the purpose of ensuring that the sound and visual quality you receive when watching films is of the highest possible standard. The original purpose was to ensure that the quality of the Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi, was reproduced perfectly. Home Cinema THX shows to the consumer that the home cinema they have purchased is of a fantastic quality, similar to that of many theaters. You will be sure to be the envy of all your friends if you have a THX accredited home cinema installed in your home. So much so, that you might never get rid of them!
THX applies to movie and home theaters, computer speakers and car audio systems. The THX name on a home cinema, means your colour will be accurate, and the picture quality will be crisp, sharp and clear. There are certain high standards which a home cinema must meet, in order to be accredited by THX, and THX engineers will examine almost every aspect of the performance of the TV to ensure this. Home Cinema THX are more expensive than other home cinemas, but will allow you to get the best possible experience from your films.
The main aim of THX is to solve any disturbances in your home cinema, for example poor audio sounds, images which are too bright or dull, and any audio disturbance, whether inside or outside. It basically covers any areas of the home cinema which may affect your enjoyment of a film. THX certification allows you to implement Dolby and other types of surround systems. There are many film theaters which have THX certification, and you will be able to tell this through the quality you receive.
One of the leading suppliers of THX certified speakers is Teufel, who recently picked up a prestigious award on account of the quality of their loudspeakers. The German brand manufacture speakers to suit every kind of budget, and suit both home cinema systems and desktop PC's. If you are looking for speakers for your home cinema system, which have such high capabilities that you will feel as if you are actually part of the film, or will allow you to become engulfed in the sound of music, then these are definitely worth looking out for. You will be literally blown away by the quality of these speakers, so it's not surprising that they have such high accreditation. As part of the whole Home Cinema THX experience, these speakers do come at a high cost, but you will never have to visit at a film theater again.
