By Sarah Knight
As a leading supplier of high-performance professional cinema speakers, Klipsch knows how to get the most out of film soundtracks and surround effects. With its new THX® Ultra2 custom home theater system, Klipsch proves that big movie theater sound is available in a convenient take home size.
This award-winning system brings real cinema sound right to your living room by using the same professional-grade technology as Klipsch's renowned commercial theater products. Because it expertly delivers the raw explosiveness and fine detail of any film format, the Klipsch THX Ultra2 will shatter your expectations for home theater performance by creating the most dramatic and realistic entertainment experiences you've ever heard.
"The Klipsch THX Ultra2 system is a big step up in performance for home installation," said Dave Rogers, Klipsch business unit manager for specialty retail and residential contracting. "By applying our professional cinema expertise to the custom residential environment, we have created real theater-style loudspeakers that offer unmatched versatility and sound quality."
The Klipsch THX Ultra2 family consists of two sizes of LCR front speakers, one surround, one subwoofer and a sub amplifier. These models can be assembled in a variety of combinations including a true THX Ultra2 system in a 7.1 configuration.
This system is built for versatility, so any arrangement of the sonically matched LCR speakers will deliver seamless performance, and the LCRs may also be used as surrounds. Proprietary Klipsch Tractrix® Horn tweeters and Cerametallic™ woofers are used throughout to deliver the ultimate in power, detail and emotional impact from durable, easy-to-install cabinets.
Since its March launch, this extraordinary setup has been blowing away listeners with its sheer power and dynamic intensity. But don't take our word for it, read what some of our dealers, who have heard and seen it all, had to say:
"The Klipsch THX Ultra2 is truly awesome."
"The Klipsch THX Ultra2 flat out makes the room seem like a movie theater. In fact, I think it sounds better than any movie theater I have ever been to."
"It's the most exciting and dynamic home theater system that I've heard under $50,000."
"I've done thousands of demonstrations in my store and the Klipsch THX Ultra2 is by far the most impressive."
"My customers are totally mesmerized by this system and love the fact that it is affordable."

"The Klipsch THX Ultra2 is simply awesome. It can fill a large or small area with ease. It's an absolute home run for Klipsch!!"
"Our THX Ultra2 demo is set up in a 45-by-60 room with a 14 foot ceiling, which normally features pro gear, just to prove that this system kicks butt."
"Our customers are blown away by this system."
Blake Jochum, Manager of Residential Systems

"Despite the power of the THX Ultra2's low end, which never clips by the way, the most amazing thing is that even with that thundering low bass, the dialogue remains absolutely intelligible and crisp. Further, this system does what surround should do. It is all around you. There is no line between back and front."
"You know that scene in Matrix Revolutions about chapter 25 or so when the big metal jaws close? I have never heard that sound right except at the IMAX. There is some serious deeeep stuff there! Klipsch's Ultra2 System sounded even better than the IMAX."
"I have heard some good stuff! The Klipsch Ultra2 is more impressive than anything I've ever heard short of the Convergent Audio Technology $1.2 million system!"

"The Klipsch THX Ultra2 is spectacular. We are using the movie Open Range with Kevin Costner to demo this system and the gunfight in scene 14 sounds incredible."
"We have already sold two complete systems and should sell two more very soon. One of my customers, who prefers another high-end brand, was absolutely blown away by this system and is considering converting over to Klipsch. Another customer knows he can sell his wife on the Klipsch Ultra2 because it can nicely be hidden away."

"The THX Ultra2 is awesome! The gunfight scene (chapter 14) in the movie Open Range delivers enormous 'slam' - impact you can feel in your stomach. It's an experience in 'you are there' realism."
"I've been selling Klipsch products for 33 years and, for the money, their new THX Ultra2 system delivers the most dynamic performances I've heard."
"The new Klipsch THX Ultra2 speakers are NOT monstrous in size - so my customers are simply astounded at the amount of impact they deliver."
