THX Certified... Door. Yeah, It's Come To That.
That picture you're looking at? That's the world's first THX certified... door.
Not satisfied with just certifying actual you know... theatre equipment, the THX folks seem to have branched out into the home improvement category by handing the QuietHome door a shiny THX certificate.
Why, you ask? Simple: the QuietHome has a STC rating of 51! Typical solid core doors only have a STC rating of 27; that's 47% more STC! (Don't worry, I had to look up what the hell STC meant on Wikipedia as well.)
How much will really quiet doors cost you? $1500-$2500 per door.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if you spend $1500 on a door, you're an idiot beyond help. It doesn't matter if you have the money.

Other stuff like this: door, expensive, home theatre, Quiet Solution, QuietHome, ridiculous, THX
This kinda makes sense for those people that have built home studios or people that want to host band practice in the basement. Hell, home theater rooms even, which is why I suppose THX is getting involved? Trying to justify it somehow ;)
