Reviews

"The THX Ultra2 is simply amazing in terms of sheer musicalness, its ability to deliver exceptional dynamics and clean, unadulterated detail. It's a system that proves once and for all you can bring, in an authentic way, the big-screen cinema sound experience to your home."
- Mark Sanfilipo, Audioholics.com [5/17/2006]

"The low frequency assaults seemed to take a palpable, feel-it-in-your-chest percussive quality. The bass articulation and room-energizing powers of the twin 12-inch [KW-120-THX] woofers were extraordinary, and, trust me, "boom" and "muddy" aren't in this ensemble's vocabulary; these powerhouses were always airy and palpably detailed."
- Steve Guttenberg, Home Theater [12/1/2004]

"The [KW-120-THX] subwoofers and the [Klipsch] KA-1000 amp produce deep, powerful, intense, frightening bass."
- Alex Gonzalez, Robb Report [9/19/2006]
