Again though, just because it says "Kellogs" on the box doesn't
necessarily
mean that another brand can taste as good or better.

The Sony 9000ES sounded superb. Yamaha have been including their own re-eq
for years but have never sought THX certification. Various other
manufacturers have been using THX style re-eq too.

The THX "rulebook" contains much that is downright monkey-nadgers
... for
example while Brian was down last week we were talking about this thing of
bass being non-directional at low frequencies and I said that you could
still tell where it was coming from. This I was able to demonstrate to
Brian
and he's now aware that he can tell the direction of LF with a cutoff as
low
as 50Hz too.
