To answer Lyle's question, I feel patrons do care, but not *that* much. The THX brand name has diminished, partly because it's on too many products. People go to the theater playing the film they want to see, almost regardless of the quality.
THX was a good idea, but no so necessary today. THX put many construction details on paper and tested equipment so they knew what an amp or speaker could really do. This looked at the construction of a theater as a whole system, and provided complete engineering data to build the best possible result. It was hard to do this 20 years ago, but is sort of easy today. Really, many people today semi-copy THX spec's they got from a previous job and apply them to their new job.
