THX -- What does it mean for my equipment?

Hello to all

Currently building my first real home theater, I am thinking of buying Denon's AVC-A1SR multichannel AV amplifier, which, among others, sports the THX Ultra 2 certification.

Since I don't know too much about Audio/Video, I just know that being THX Certified is something good for a component. But how does THX really work? Is it something like Dolby Digital or DTS (I am sure I have seen somewhere THX Surround EX or sth like that)? Since I am thinking of buying the Denon THX amplifier, should I also get THX Speakers, THX DVD player etc?

With the loudspeakers being the most important aspect of the system -- as I keep hearing -- the question is really important about the loudspeakers I am going to purchase. Should I opt for THX loudspeakers? In what aspects are they better (or worse) than non-THX loudspeakers?

Looking forward to your replies

Best Regards
