THX Ultra2 upgrade or not?

[eu_viking]

I’ve always been fascinated by the Klipsch THX Ultra2 system, although I’ve never had the chance to listen to it. I’ve now come across a demo set for a reasonable price, consisting of:

 

• 3 x KL-650 THX LCR front
• 2 x KS-525 THX surround 
• 2 x 7800-S THX surround
• 2 x KW-120 THX subwoofer 12"
• 1 x KA-1000 THX amplifier

 

My current HT system consists of:

 

• 3 x RF7 front
• 2 x RS62 surround
• 2 x RB81mk2 surround
• 2 x KW-120 THX subwoofer
• 1 x KA-1000 THX amplifier

 

I am wondering now, if this will be an upgrade at all ? Am I blinded by my long the desire for the Ultra2 set? Are the RF7/RS62 actually outperforming the KL650/KS525 in HT?

I know you are not getting very many responses here but I would also be curious of people’s opinions.

 

I have all the Ultra speakers you listed, with a couple more surrounds and minus the subs. I obviously know what the Ultras sounds like but I have never owned RF-7’s, so I am of no help.

 

If you were located around the Seattle area, I would be more than happy to load up the 3 KL-650’s and bring them to your place, for a little A/B testing session..

 

Slim odds I know, but by throwing it out there, someone might live closer and be willing to do the same thing;)
