Say "Bye Bye" to THX. 
https://www.cnet.com/news/razer-buys-thx

Razer stood for gaming peripherals. By buying THX, the former Lucasfilm brand, it hopes to become a more general-purpose entertainment powerhouse.
Razer, best known for gaming computer mice, said Monday it bought THX, the former Lucasfilm brand known for deep, powerful sound.
In 1983, George Lucas created THX to make sure "Return of the Jedi" felt just right in theaters, with true-to-the-original sound. THX has been certifying audiovisual systems ever since, including the ones in consumer products like Panasonic TVs, Onkyo A/V receivers and Lincoln cars.

    Doesn't mean much to either THX or Razer. THX isn't being reorganized and Razer is keeping it separate.

    I thought THX was still owned by Lucas, so look how out of the loop I am.
     


    Not my fault if you're offended.

    Lucas had a fire sale awhile back. Disney bought a lot of it.

    Dolby seems to be it right now.

    I don't see anything wrong with THX. My Z-5500 THX sound great.
