RF-7 II or THX Ultra2 ?

Hello,

I'm planning to upgrade my speakers from Energy RC-70 / Epik Phoenix / Pioneer VSX-94TXH based 7.1 HT to something that has a better sound in movies. The reason I'm considering an upgrade is that I'm missing impact and the mid-bass in general and I want to have more of a movie theater experience at home.

The two systems, that I'm considering are either

- RF-7 II + RC-64 + RS-62 + RB-82 or
- THX Ultra 2

I had a chance to hear the RF-7 based system at local Fry's, but I can't find any store in the San Francisco Bay area that would have a showroom with the THX. I've read some very positive reviews on the system, but most of those date to 2004 - 2005 and I'm not sure how the two compare.

Do you guys have any recommendation? Price-wise the systems are around the same. My primary use will be for movies with a little of music in a living room at first and dedicated HT room later.

Thanks for the tip. Is there anything in particular why the brands you suggest are better than the RF-7/Ultra 2 set up?

Oops, not shopping for speakers very often .. ;-)

An L-shaped room, the longer part is the living room - 22 x 14 x 10 feet with windows on one side and an opening to the kitchen on the other. It's under complete re-modeling, so I'm flexible on furniture setting, sound treatment on the walls, etc.
