In regards to THX certification, as far as its desireability is concerned, it depends on how much extra THX certification would end up raising the price to the purchaser.

If the cost increment is small (<$50), then THX certification is fine, otherwise, I'm not much interested.

Outlaw could make the 950's big brother meet whatever THX specs they wanted and advertise it as such and just skip the certification process (and not get the pretty THX certified logo on the front panel) and I would not mind.

Or they could make the new model significantly exceed THX specs and say "beyond THX!".
