Now, I dont have any knowledge of this "special circuit", but suppose it deliberately cut a specific pattern of frequencies by a specific amount.

So you are new to pro audio and you don't have any knowledge of what exactly is going on in THX?
Interesting theory. I just wonder how you thought it all up. Maybe you should go work for George Lucas.
Seriously though, all it is there for is for people who make wonderful sounding productions to give their customers a standard for which to buy their gear. THX certified amps are tested for a minimum s/n ratio and dynamic range. Speakers are tested for frequency response.
THX gear is good for playback and it's a standard that makes me happy knowing that if I produce something then I'll know, to a certain degree, how someone out there will hear it.
I wish they'd do this for Mastering music on audio CDs. Then we wouldn't have these mangled, distorted blocks of cheese that the major labels seem to call music.

Props for being creative though!
