Is THX a scam?

Found this and it’s the first image I’ve found with the lid off so this must be THX exclusive of the THX D1138 that replaced THX 3417.

The patented THX crossover monitor doesn’t seem to be on the current THX approved list which means it must have been superseded by other digital crossovers that can be twice effective.

One of most popular digital crossover is the dbx4800 now playing at the most powerful THX screen at London’s Leicester Square.

Original THX cinema crossover monitor THX 3417 part of the numbers are from THX 1138 characters, I’d have to look it up, but its noticeable in the THX 1138 trailer.

This was sold on eBay last year and that is naughty tutt because it for lease only not to be sold on fleaBay! I bet someone scored lucky on a nice gem.

I have a THX 3417 crossover monitor for sale as well as other material, taken from a redeveloped cinema which we worked on, if anyone is interested.

I know this tread has not been active for a couple years but thought to write anyways.

THX came about because George Lucas wanted Star Wars to have lows in the theaters. Rather than have every theater do their own thing, or nothing, he put a system together.

Just one of a myriad of innovations from genius George Lucas.
