My old Onkyo TX-SV919 reciever was THX Certified, and it seriously KICKED BOOTY!!!!

THX doens't mean quite what it meant back then. Back in the days when Dolby Digital was brand new, the addition of stereo ("decorrelated") rears to a DPL signal was a Big Deal™. Believe me the difference between ProLogic and THX enhanced ProLogic was dramatic, and my LaserDiscs all sounded magnificent.

It took a long time for DPLII to bring this technology to the masses, and for people who listen to lots of DPL material (such as most TV broadcasts), this is important.

However, nowadays the THX logo offers less than it did back then.
