I have not heard the new version, but I'm not surprised that it's much improved. I heard they used the laserdisc master for the new pressing. My main point was the studios could do just as a great a job of screwing up a DVD as anyone else so assuming they "know" how to properly make a DVD audio track mix for the home about as much as THX does.....

In regards to THX speakers, Ruined, I was told that in order to maximize the true THX sound field, one needed to have THX certified speakers. Do you know if this is true or just another way to make the consumer pay more money for a stamp on a speaker?

I don't think it's true because when I tell my receiver I have THX speakers connected, it "knows" what levels to set for various things, like crossover network etc, based on THX specs.
I HAVE heard of a case where a THX Ultra certified A?V receiver could NOT drive THX speakers at 4 ohms, even though the THX spec states all THX certified hardware will interoperate with each other. The person *could* have connected his speakers, but Pioneer told him his receiver would NOT push his speakers at 4 ohms and if he tried, they would NOT support any problems that resulted.
Peace.....
