Why does Rotel not support THX?
When it was initially introduced THX released a set of tight standards that helped promote better theater sound. Manufacturers that wanted to have this logo on their product had to submit it to THX for testing and certification. Today, it is not under the same ownership and the standards have evolved to include different levels of performance. While it was a genuine “Good Housekeeping” symbol for theater components in the early days, it does not have the same status today and many manufactures, including Rotel, do not believe it adds anything but an additional licensing fee to the equipment.
