enigma-2 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Sorry for beating a (long) dead house, but I was wondering what (if any) THX system has? Surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any topics on this in either forum. I get the surround sound aspect, demo built in sounds great, but does anyone actually sell surround cd's? Anyone ever use their surround system capabilities? Like to buy a great sounding cd, perhaps something 'not' classic. It works with DVD movies really well, but nothing seems to be available for CD music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 The THX system was designed by THX engineers and calibrated for each vehicle (supposedly). It showed up first on the Lincoln LS sometime between 1999 and 2002 - there were quite a few articles about it back then. It has significant power but like the Revel systems it's used for precision and clarity not volume or boom booms. You can get DVD-A discs online but only for a few artists and albums. Never took off in the audiophile world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Here is an article about the system on the 2008 MKX. Edited May 27, 2016 by omar302 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Only missing some tube amps Have you had a chance to check out the Revel system in the newest MKX, omar? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I am not really audiophile person. They all sound good. But I also didn't try the 2016 MKX. It's just too expensive! Both the MKX as a car & the Revel audio option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Only missing some tube amps Have you had a chance to check out the Revel system in the newest MKX, omar? Thoughts?Actually I did on Monday. Had mine in for the gas tank recall. (They found that is was leaking, and changed it). Dealer brought up a new MKX for me to use as a loaner. (Told me it was a perk for being a Lincoln owner, otherwise I'd have gotten a Fusion. Ploy to get me to drive a new MKX of course. :-) Thought the sound system was excellent. Seemed to have speakers everywhere. Very clean even a loud setting. When I returned it, talked with the service associate and he said that the Revell system is really the high end speakers. Suff about waveguides and balancing, etc. Nothing about the radio or amp. Never thought to ask if it was surround sound, but I would imagine that it is.

akirby Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 It is surround sound and it's the entire package not just the speakers. It's become my favorite feature and we only have the 12 speaker system. Well worth $1K and completely blows away the Sony system in my fusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
