Thanks. > The best way to decide would be to go to a place like Circuit City and ask to hear one of their high end receivers that have switch able THX circuits (like Onkyo). Listen to the sound in the standard Dolby Digital mode and the THX mode and see if you feel it is worth it. Like speakers, you will have to hear them and decide for yourself. Also, who old is your receiver? With the new THX-EX and DTS-ES you may just want to wait a little while and buy a receiver that has these circuits. Then you can sell your old stuff on E bay. You never know how well you will do on eBay. I has listed stuff at a very low price just because I wanted to get rid of them. At the end of the auction sometimes I have been shocked to see how much they sold for. Once the other hand, sometimes stuff that I really thought was worth something would not move. But the nice thing about eBay is that their insertion fees are relatively low and you set the minimum bid.
