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.
