No THX logo anymore?

[Arnold van Oostrum]

In the newest Rotel brochure available here in The Netherlands, I saw that the Rotel amplifiers don't have the THX logo anymore on the front.

Don't know if something changed on the inside, but leaving the THX logo out, they raised the price with almost 10%. :evil:

I don't think Rotel wants to pay the royalty fees anymore since I beleive the new 1098 won't have THX logo's either though that doens't mean that they wouldn't pass the tests if they were subjected to them

I've ran into case's where rotel amplifiers do not have the THX Ultra logo on it. But those are just images of the amps. The actual amp does have it though. They probalby used the photo's of the amps before they were certified.

I am interested to know if Rotel plans to provide any firmware upgrade for the THX Ultra-2 (or THX Ultra for that matter)? I meant strictly functionality rather than certification to have the logo, since I understand that there are additional sound processing features for the center back speakers that come with THX Ultra-2. Any knowledge sharing would be appreciated for this lost soul :?

I dont believe there's any THX ULTRA 2 certifications for Amplifiers. Those are only for Pre/Pro's.

Actually there is THX Ultra 2 certs for amps. Parasounds new Halo series is THX Ultra 2-Certified....Not sure what the specs are that make it certified but I know they are, I've physically seen them in an audio shop in town. I figure if you visit the thx website it may have some info on what makes an amp THX Utlra-2 certified.

Just and FYI....
