Question about my Yamaha rxv1400 and when to use the THX setting!

[eddy13]

Well my set up is Paradigm Mini Monitors as Mains cc370 center and atoms for rears. I have a hsu vtf2 sub and a Yamaha rxv1400. My receiver as we all know it has a thx setting. My question is when does one flip the thx settign on. When your watchig a movie in Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS my Yamaha since it set in auto will automatically pick the correct format. When does one get to use the thx setting. Does the thx setting sound better than regular dolby d 5.1 or dts. On normal dolby d 5.1 I think i have flipped back and fourth from thx and dolby and i dont hear a difference. When should one use the thx setting.

I don't get it eddy, in almost all of the threads you start, you ask will it sound better if I do this, will it sound better if I change that...etc.

No one can tell you whats going to sound better all the time. What it comes down to, is if you can tell if it sounds better or not. I mean, if you need to ask if it sounds better in THX or not, then you obviously can't tell the difference between the two, so why does it even matter?

I'm not trying to call you out, I'm just trying to make a point. You can have all the gadgets, read all the reviews on products/placement/configurations but what it still comes down to is what it sounds like to you. Maybe you should feel lucky, there are people out there spending 10k on one pair of interconnects because either they have become so damn picky they need the best they can find...or unfortunately, they associate more $$ with better sound, which is hardly the right conclusion in many cases.
