    Polks speakers are certified by more important people than THX....the customers. The customers buy them and love them. Thats all that counts!

    THX...what a waste!!! There's alot of THX certified products that belong in the garbage can.

    Ya, I dont think Polk will waste their time with certification...I have listed to THX certified speakers...and frankly...was not impressed. I think the rules for THX is more the same speakers for every channel, and a ton of base.

    The price aspect is also a consideration. GL and his merry little band of thieves aren't philanthropists I assume. I am sure there is a substantial cost associated that would be ultimately passed on to the consumer....John hit the nail right on the head. Anyone who wouldn't by a speaker just because it isn't THX certified is an idiot anyway.

    In order to sell products some companies pay thousands of dollars to get their products THX-certified. To me certification is nothing but another way of making money. Lots of THX-certified products won't and can't beat non THX-certified products. THX is nothing but a logo to make money.

    Where is my STARWARS TRILOGY ?and where is INDIANA JONES TRILOGY on DVD? I think the movie prints are too dirty and not qualified for THX certification !!!:D :D:D Lucas Film think VHS and Laser Disc format are better than DVD!

    Polk Audio speakers are certified by STM (Superior Technology of Mankind) and their customers! to hell with THX-certification!

    Polk Audio speakers are the best;)
    Panasonic TH-50PX80U Plasma HDTV
    Polk Audio RT800i (fronts)
    Polk Audio CS400i (center)
    Polk Audio F/X1000 (side surrounds)
    Polk Audio RTi6 (back surrrounds)
    Velodyne CHT-15 (subwoofer)
    Yamaha RX-V1400 (Pre/Pro)
    NAD C272 (2-ch Amp)
    Adcom GFA-7605 (5-ch Amp)
    Toshiba SD-3109 (DVD/CD player)
    Malata DVP-580 (Multi-region DVD player)

    THX certification of Polk speakers?

    NO!

    That would be a bad idea, mainly because it would raise speaker prices.
