"THX has been a guarantor of the best Cinema sound for almost 30 years. I am pleased, that this token of George Lucas can be brought into my own four walls. The fact that manufacturers like Teufel are talented at keeping prices low, and allow customers to purchase THX without having to first win the lottery, is really good for the home cinema branch."
