Hello,
I have a new THX-select rated receiver and am looking at speakers. the
system is primarily for home theatre. The speakers I like (Or b audio)
aren't THX rated and the manufacturer emailed me this:

Our speakers will work fine with a THX receiver...the THX
specification calls for the satellites to be crossed over at 80hz, and
our speakers are designed with that in mind. We have not submitted
our speakers for certification by THX because it is cost-prohibitive
for a small company, and in the end performance is what counts.

How important is the THX designation for speakers in your opinion?

It's important if you run a cinema ( theatre as I believe you call them in
the US - but not sure what you would call a theatre ! - is it
movie-theatre and ( not movie) theatre ? )
