OK...firstly i want to appologise because my english not good...
3 years ago i own Pioneer VSX-AX2as with THX select 2, i don't belive
about THX before because i think we must have THX certified speakers but i'm totally wrong...

i have done MCACC  and wtching movie with DTS and DD alone...
one day i tried ON the THX button and the sound a bit diffrent...
after that i calibrated my system using THX setting and the result change
my perseption about THX....after that day i never running my system without THX..
With THX my speakers produce a very crystal clear sound and you can turn up
your volume as high as you like without damage your ears... biggrin.gif
One more big things about THX is your subwoofer control ...mmmm amazing...bro

Now i have upgrade my AVR to Pioneer LX82 because of THX and penangan BLU RAY..
LX82 is THX Ultra 2...fyi

Maybe after this i need to upgrade my subwoofer bcoz my current subwoofer lack of power
to control the impact of THX Ultra2.Perhaps upgrade to SVS subwoofer rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

This is simple setting and u also can DIY. Just turn ON THX speaker setting before auto calibration.
After that u just fine tune your setting and enjoy feel of THX...

So what are the THX settings you're using now with the LX82?

I think first you have to choose a THX listening mode like Surround EX or Ultra 2 Cinema, etc. Which did you choose?

Then later also have to set the THX audio setting like Loudness Plus, BGC, etc. What are your settings for this?

bro...used what you got at your system now just remember you need to connect
all your 7.1 channel, THX only working with 7.1 channel, unless you just dummy
ON at your speaker setting it still working i guess....

U can try, if you do not have surround back you cannot turn ON THX select 2 or ultra 2,
it just only THX cinema....
First of all, you must realise that different manufacturers can implement THX differently in their AVR. So sometimes what works with Pioneer will work differently with maybe Denon, Yamaha, etc.

About the 7.1 you mentioned, I think for Pioneer choosing the THX Ultra 2 Cinema mode means it will matrix a 5.1 channel sound into 7.1 so that's why you need 7.1 speakers.
