i have read many favorable reviews on the klipsch THX ultra2 speaker for home theatre setup. i am thinking of replacing my front AEON martin logan & centre NHT M6 with the klipsch KL65O horn speaker. would appreciate if anyone can give some advise currently using HK8500 RECEIVER & martin logan depth sub.

Klipsch THX

I have heard this set up many times before and thought they sounded great for movies. I robot and AVP were a real treat. Over all these speakers performed wonderfully. A word of caution you have very music oriented speakers now and the klipsch speakers arent as good musically as say RBH signature series speakers. The RBH' s would perform both task equally well for a lower price.

Just installed mine a couple weeks ago... still tuning the setup, but I've very happy with them.

Hi
I have to agree with the previous posts. The Klipsch THX Ultra II speakers are awesome for movie sound tracks, and are the finest THX speakers I have installed to date. The Klipsch THX Ultra II will provide you with seamless transitions, huge dynamic capabilities, high spl and efficiency. For music these speakers are a little on the dry side but If your listening habits trend more toward movie sound tracks and multi-channel they are magnificent.

The THX Ultra II system can be configured in many different ways to accommodate your room and you don’t need to stick with the standard install profile to get a great sounding system. An example of this would be KL-650-THX LCR and surrounds or KL-650 LCR and KL-525 surrounds or you can do the standard using KL-650 LCR or KL-525 LCR and KS-525 Di-pole in the null of the listening position.

Klipsch will has plans to ship THX in-walls 1st quarter next year
These are the speakers I would use for the EX channels if you have a back wall. This configuration is better than using the KL-525 mounted on the back wall because it is aesthetically correct. The KL-525 are a little big and bulky
For EX speaker use and we have been advising client to use the smaller speakers from the Reference line until the THX In-wall ships

Hope this helps

Excellent sound for movies, bass response is fabulous, you literally need to re adjust the pictures on the wall when you are done listening. When I demo-ed these I saw flashes of lightening…… thought it was a cool effect, but then I realized it was just the PAR38 track lights blowing out. I have a set sitting around in my shop from my personal system if anyone is interested....... I just don’t have a place for them anymore.
