Detailed Description

Because it expertly delivers the raw explosiveness and fine detail of any film format, the Ultra2 will shatter your expectations for home theater performance by creating the most dramatic and realistic entertainment experiences you've ever heard.

The THX Ultra2 family consists of two sizes of LCR front speakers, one surround, one subwoofer and a subwoofer amplifier. These models can be assembled in a variety of combinations including a true THX Ultra2 system in a 7.1 configuration, which consists of three KL-650-THX LCRs, two KL-525-THX LCRs, two KS-525-THX surrounds, two KW-120-THX subwoofers and one KA-1000-THX subwoofer amplifier. The smaller KL-525-THX LCRs serve as rear center speakers.

This system was built for versatility, so any combination 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.

All enclosures have the dado and rabbet construction used in Klipsch professional speakers, ensuring cabinet integrity in suspended applications. Omni-Mount suspension points on the LCR and surround speakers facilitate wall or ceiling mounting using standard hardware. Each Ultra2 component, except the amplifier, comes in a Galaxy black finish with aluminum fascia. The amplifier comes in a standard black finish.

The THX Ultra2 system is a big step up in performance for home installation. It proves that big movie theater sound can come in a convenient take home size. In fact, immediately following its launch, the Klipsch THX Ultra2 proved to be a runaway success. It has brought home several honors including a 2004 CES Innovations Award, 2004 CE Pro High-Impact Product of the Year Award and a 2004 EH Product of the Year Award for the KW-120-THX and KA-1000-THX.

“The THX Ultra2 is simply amazing in terms of sheer musicalness, its ability to deliver exceptional dynamics and clean, unadulterated detail.”
- Mark Sanfilipo, Audioholics.com [5/17/2006]

"The best surround sound the lab has tested -- ever."
- Lawson Wong, Popular Mechanics [7/1/2005]

"Klipsch's new THX Ultra2 speaker system boldly goes where poseur speakers fear to tread."
- Steve Guttenberg, Home Theater [12/1/2004]

"Overall, the sound quality I hear from DVDs easily surpasses that of the majority of the movie theaters I have visited — including some of Los Angeles' very best. The Klipsch THX Ultra2 is an extremely well designed, meticulously engineered and thoughtfully executed speaker system."
- Alex Gonzalez, Robb Report [11/1/2004]

" ...the overall listening quality is more than convincing and the excellent way that the system handles dynamics allows it to deal with the most daring dynamic extremes with no apparent strain at all."
- Henri-Pierre Penel, AudioVideo [9/1/2004]

"One of the strong points of the THX pack is the clear attacks and remarkably sustained presence of the bass. These bring life and uncommonly good articulation to the performance. If you use the system for films, the impression of Pro Cinema is as real as the room can make it."
- Philippe Viboud, Revue Du Son & Du Home Cinema [7/1/2004]
