Why are you selling? I am very interested an live in WA so I can pickup. However, I am waiting to sell my current RF-83 system (Wife) before I can buy anything else.

I am selling my nearly flawless THX Ultra 2 speaker system (without subs). There is one slight blemish on the top of one of the L/C/Rs, and some slight marks near the keyholes on the back of the surrounds. Other than that, these speakers are perfect. They also come in all of their original packaging.
Package includes: 3 x KL-650-THX, 4 x KS-525-THX

Nearly flawless system with one minor surface scratch on one speaker and some minor abrasions around the mounting holes of the surrounds.
Includes: 3 x KL-650-THX, 4 x KS-525-THX
$3700US + shipping.

Unless you are in a very large room, running 11 channels will not be a lot different than running a good 7.x. All the different surrounds need space from the mains and from each other to really hear the spatial cues that they reproduce.
My room will be quite large (24x18x12) so I'm thinking 11.2 should increase the soundstage quite nicely.
I love my Emo amps but for the appx. 2600.00 your considering for the XPA's, why not just get the matching 11 channel yammie amp for a few hundred more.The MX-A5000 is only 150wpc (2 ch driven). I'm thinking with the room size, I should give those speakers some more power.

Ok. Please be patient.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Yamaha CX-A5000 11.2 pre/pro
L/C/R: KL-650
Surround side/back: KL-650
Front/Back heights: KL-525
Subs: 4x KW-120
Sub amps:2x KA-1000
Amplifiers:
1x Emotiva XPA-5
2x Emotiva XPA-3
My question now is..... Should I substitute that B&K amp in there, somewhere?
Thanks again for all your input.

Welcome to the forum. Scrappy and I both run the THX Ultra 2 system and I can say I’m extremely happy with it. Most likely the last Home theater speaker system I will own for a very long time (not equipment though) I would say 150watts isn’t going to cut it for high volume listening. These speakers are the most power hungry out there but certainly more than the reference line. I noticed a huge improvement in using separates and even more improvement when implementing a Pre amp into the mix. Having full control over each speaker is certainly and upgrade and the addition of amp[s will gain extremely low distortion at reference level and bring out the bottom end , detail etc. You can probably find a nice used 7 channel amp rated at 200 watts per channel that would work just fine. I went with an Anthem A2 and A5 and find it is perfect. The L,C,R will benefit the more from the extra power per channel. If you have invested in these rather expensive speakers you might as well invest in the heart of the system your amps/pre/avr etc. My A2 outputs 225wpc and my A5 does 185 wpc. I use the A2 for the L, R and A5 for the reaming 7 speakers. I also use 2 KA-1000 sub amps with 4 KW120s. With the amount of amps, preamp, projectors, bluray player, etc. I decided to run my system on 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits also. When listening at loud levels all this equipment can use some juice. I also suggest buying the amps used (Ive purchased my amps all used in mint condition off audiogon).
What sort of room size do you have?

Exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you. Do you happen to have any opinions on Emotiva amplifiers? Their new XPR-5(400 w/ch driven x 5) and XPA-2(300 w/ch driven x 2)look like good deals. That would give me a good 7 channels driven. I was then thinking of pairing that with the new Yamaha CX-A5000 pre-amp. Seeing as it's an 11.2 pre/amp system, I was then thinking of going with 2 UPA-200s (125w/ch driven x2) for the 4 "presence" speakers. Overkill?
As a bit of backstory, I currently have a Yamaha RX-V3800 AVR hooked up to a Revel Concerta 7.1 speaker system. This is in an 11x12 room. We are currently building a house where I am lucky enough to get myself an 18x24x10 sound treated media room, so needless to say, a serious upgrade! I',m definitely going to go with separates, but I don't want to go too "little" or too "big". I'm looking for the "Goldilocks" solution. Just right!
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.

Hi Guys. This is my first post, so I appreciate the input in advance. I'm building a 24X18X10 dedicated media room, (4320 cubic feet) and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the power requirements for the THX Ultra 2 speaker system for this kind of space. I don't want to go too crazy, but I'm thinking the 150wpc or so of most integrated AVRs just isn't going to cut it. Also wondering if the dual sub setup in the system is enough, or whether I should double up and have 4 subs in the room. i will be building a baffle wall, and adding sound panels to the walls if that helps your opinion.
These are the pieces I'm looking at.
(3) KL-650-THX Bookshelf Speaker
(2) KL-525-THX Bookshelf Speaker
(2) KW-120-THX Subwoofer
(1) KS-525-THX Surround Speakers (pair)
(1) KA-1000-THX AmplifierThanks
