I just came across this 13 minutes after you posted this. THANK YOU. I'm going to pull the trigger on these, but I've been trying to get as many perspectives as I can. THIS post couldn't have been more timely for me. Now, I'm gonna watch your review!
SVS are truly underrated speakers. I have a full set myself, indulging to of their older PB13, ultras. Love them!
This is the most transparent and honest reviews I seen. I own the SVS Ultra Towers and with age they are sounding better and better. Thank you Villaman for the review!
You mean you're getting used to them. There is no such thing as speaker burn in.
SVS makes some awesome Elevation and Surround sound speakers as well, I use them on the sides and rear end of my Home theater room, because they have such a rich, clear, and deep sound that handles ATMOS flawlessly. They pair well with my front Klipsch front heights for clear mid-high range and my massive RSL 1986 Studio Monitors L&R, as well as the newer RSL Center and Sub Woofer. I am a fan of SVS & RSL.
Hi, this is Scooter Steve I purchased the prime pedicle speakers. They are excellent. I had the piano glass I got the whole entire set so when you play your music on RUclips, I was able to turn on and here the good quality sound out of it. It sounds really awesome. I can hear the mid range the tweeter and the base it sounds like I’m really there but I’m using your RUclips channel when you play the music. Thanks for doing that you’re doing an excellent job take care. This is scooter Steve.
I have the entire ultra series, I love them so much. Every time I turn on music or a movie, Its like the first time I've ever heard them. I highly recommend them.
Hi Donnie, what are you using for your front end to power them? I was thinking Anthem...
If I could go cheaper I will.
@@michaelp7185 I use an old Sony TA-N9000ES I was lucky enough to find for $200 there's a lot of old power out there that you can find that will work great and be very inexpensive.
What's really cool is I have a mixture of prime and ultras and they mix really well
I have a chance to buy a pair on the used market place at a decent deal, in gloss black, worried about reflections now after this video. Also live in an apartment building so these are attractive because I could probably get away without adding subs? How do you like the design, and how much room do they need to breath?
I also have a mixture as well, it’s great.
New subscriber, love that you upload in HDR. More you tubers need to get with the times! Thank you!
I know I’m late to comment but I just wanted to congratulate you on a fair, thorough and detailed review of the SVS speakers line in your home theater. It was clear and concise leaving me with few questions. Good job my friend.
Good review. I run a 7.3 SVS Piano Black Ultra System. Ultra Towers, Ultra Center, Four Ultra Surrounds (2 Sides / 2 Rears) triple PC-4000’s, minidsp 2X4 HD, Marantz AV7705, Emotiva DR3 & XPA5,G3. System is crystal clear and dynamic.
When are you adding a 4th PC?
@@georgeandrew8388 - I had the system professionally calibrated with REW / minidsp 2X4 HD and it was not needed. The three are quite enough.
I have been looking at speakers for a while. I keep coming back to the Ultra Towers as the best value for music and home theater. I really wish they would come in white like the bookshelf's.
They really are a great value
The speakers are massive. Pictures and videos doesn't tell the whole story. The towers flare outward from the front of the speaker towards the back like a step pyramid.
Huge SVS fan. Even the Prime series are fantastic. I’m very happy with my 5.1.2 SVS setup & I highly recommend them
Prime towers are underated fr, music and movies sound awesome on them
@@MasterMark5 - The Prime Towers do look great. I went with the Prime Pinnacles & they’ve been fantastic
I got dual pb3000 and they completely changed my system
@@duhgreat8449 - That’s awesome! I currently have one PB-2000 Pro. I’m sure one day I’ll add a second one. One alone is very impressive
I have the Prime Bookshelves & Center and an SVS PB 2000 PRO, they sound amazing!
A fair assessment.
You’d think SVS would go back to the board and make them more power options by making them more efficient (from 88dB to 94bB).
How do the svs 3.0 system (left, right and center) compare with Arendal 3.0 which you tested as well. Any drastic differences you can think off. Appretiate all the work you do in putting out these videos.
Thanks! Good review.I have the elevation speakers and they are great!
Great review! Awesome looking speaker! When you watch a movie or do demos for your speaker reviews do you use the option on your denon called drc and loudness management?
As always a great review!!! About ready to buy a Martin Logan 40i and 50xti for front stage. But these look amazing too. Do you think a built in amp section of a Marantz 7013 could power the ultras ??
I have the ultra bookshelves and center. Fantastic speakers.
Q
Parasına değer mi ne dersiniz?
I’ve enjoyed your videos and learning a lot from watching. I have a question, I currently own the Def Tech 9060 tower speakers, I’m just starting to out my home theater together and thinking of changing to the SVS Ultra towers. Would like your advice on if I should make that change now and go with the SVS Ultra setup or stay with the Def Tech setup? Or suggest another speaker? Your help is greatly appreciative!
Wow... Those are great reviews of yours!
Dear Villaman, how do you picture the differences between the SVS ultra Towers and the Arendal 1723 THX Towers. Just on Music and without the subwoofer, please. Thanks a lot for your time.
These look amazing I'm thinking about getting the Pinnacles they would work better in my room.
do not :) you can find alot better speaker out there than pinnacle! :)
Is it worth it to snag these speakers and have them set to small and the crossover set to 80 HZ? It seems that dual opposing 8 inch woofers in a big section of price and I'm wondering I'd the mid-high range performs well enough to justify the cost.
I just purchase the tower ultra
After along check of many stereo shops
And they are matching many kind of music as a versatile speakers
They do need strong amp for better performance as any other speakers that is 88dB
For summery
Great sound mid high and low with good depth of stage on all kind of music
How do they compare with the arendal 1723’s overall. Which would you choose?
Interesting. Thanks for you great videos. I currently have tekton design speakers (paper woofers) pretty good for live but lacks dynamic. Recently purchased an ultra center.. big upgrade... but thinking of going Arendals for tower replacement. Would the 6.5 center ultras match well enough with the 1723 to mix them? I thought maybe having that crisp dome ultra for dialog and 1723 for a little more warmth might be a good mix (although people say matching is important)
Can’t wait for new TVs to arrive
Gotta love the T Shirt. 🤣
🙌🏾
came out at the perfect time! I was just looking at the SVS satellite and SVS 1000 pro sub.... but then I realized I cannot even afford an AV receiver lol
haha I know the feeling Ive been using a denon avp a1 and denon poa t2 to drive wharfdale evo 4.2's and was like i need a sub so bought the svs sb 3000 the sub is holy shit but my preamp just failed so im waiting on ma a rotel one coming quite nervous about how itll stack up vs the denon just cant afford to repair it after buying the SVS
Hey Villaman love your reviews, regular visitor of your channel. I need help choosing Front LCR - I have new Anthem AVM 70, using Emotiva 5 channel amp for main 5 speakers and Outlaw for overhead. I had Klipsch 8000F and matching Center, then Martin Logan 60 and matching Center - great speakers but I am just sensitive to treble and found them both bright, got headaches after watching movie like John wick or listening to music for long.
Right now I am doing trial on SVS Pinnacle Prime Tower and Ultra Center and liking it so far and find them less bright. I have seen your and Sparechange review on Arendal and wondering if its worth trying Arendel Towers and Center - are they bright, neutral, warm compare to Klipsch/SVS? I watch movies 80% of the time and 20% music - all genres.
I appreciate your help.
What do you think about these or KEF Q950s
Either system will be added with a PB-1000 Pro
I just got the Ultra Center today but I'm goin to set it up tomorrow since I'm waiting for a bit wire cable to arrive. Do you think I should cross this over @ 60hz since it can go down to 45hz?
I’d love to have the svs ht setup. I can only dream 😂
I want to buy them for music, what do you need to make them work? Theyre not plug & play? Or do you need an amp for them? The tower ones.
Thank you for sharing: How do these SVS compare to the 1723 Tower THX speakers and do you suggest adding dual subwoofers with these? Thank again.
@villaman please help?
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! sweet speakers
Good review. Metal dome tweeters are normally on the brighter side of neutral ime. Interesting take.
How do you like them compared to the Arendals?
At some high frequencies, the metal dome tweeter will sound SHRILL. It's not often but it will happen. Their musical sound stage is full body and they sound great.
I second that question!
Hi there! How are these compared to Arendal speakers???
So what’s your thoughts on those compared to the Prime Pinnacles? I’m not big on the angled design of the ultra towers nor do I feel the need for the bass drivers in the bottom of the towers since I have a dedicated sub. I’m really considering the Pinnacles…
I think the Pinnacles offer everything these do except for the refinement of the midrange (although it still sounds really good) and the low end extension (and overall output). With a good sub the Pinnacles are a great choice
Wonderful review on the SVS Ultra towers.
I’ve narrowed down between the Wharfedale EVO series and SVS Ultra series for my next setup but I can’t decide. Have you heard the EVO series? and if you have tell me what you think about them?
SVS for Home Theater. Should have more dynamics, so more bass and sparkle, which is good for movies and surround sound. Wharfdale usually makes warm and more laid-back gear, so it would make the movie seem more dull, or at least less exciting.
This video also reminds me, when I buy this new 4K TV soon I do at least do want Dolby Atmos .... my first TV upgrade in a few years (mostly compelled by PS5 purchase) so I have been out of the feature loop for awhile.... We are serious movie watchers so I do at least want decent Dolby Atmos going even if not SVS route
I’m debating either prime pinnacles w/ a subwoofer or ultra towers without subwoofer. This is for HT in my living room area. What do you think?
I don’t think the ultras can substitute for a good sub. Get the sub with the Pinnacles
You mention that the stereo imaging is not as good as the Arendal 1723's and with that being said, if you had to choose only one for your home theater, which would you prefer, the Arendal 1723 or the SVS Ultras? Very interested in your answer as these are the two that I have narrowed it down to for my HT. Thanks in advance.
he said he prefer the arendal
Yea I do prefer the Arendals
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Thanks, appreciate the quick reply!
Considering I'm going to run multi sub either way, I was planing to save a bit and eventually go tri prime pinnacles instead of ultras.
Sounds like a great plan
Hello Villa-Man, how do you compare the Pioneer elite towers vs the SVS Ultra Towers as it pertains to music & movies?
It’s not even a comparison. Night and day difference. The ultras is at least just as smooth, with more headroom with way more bottom end. The Pioneers have better sound dispersion though
That's what I was thinking about both towers. I currently have 6 pioneer elites towers with 4 SVS SB 2000 subs and a Ultra Center. My room sounds great but I wanted more output for my front stage. I'm so use to the sound I already have. I got 2 ultra towers being delivered on the 15th. If I change my front stage I will have to change all the towers out eventually.
Prime Pinnacles for Surrounds and prime towers for the Surround backs.
They are worth it a little pricey but they sound amazing !!! I love my ultras
How do these compare to Klipsch RP8000 speakers?
The Klipsch will have more dynamics and in your face sound
Great video !!! Thinking about purchasing SVS Ultra Towers. What do you think of using SVS Prime Pinnacle Tower for a Center Channel. Or will the SVS Ultra Center speaker work better. Thanks
The ultra would def be the better option, but more importantly, I’d go for 3 similar speakers for the LCR if using a tower for your center
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Thank you for your quick reply. I just ordered the SVS Ultra Towers and the SVS Ultra Center Speaker. Thank you so much. Have a Great Holiday and a Happy New Year.
I'm thinking about building a 7.1 system using six SVS ULTRA TOWERS, for the front, mid, and rear surround locations, along with the SVS ULTRA center channel. I already have OUTLAW AUDIO EQUIPMENT, for Amp, Preamp, with 7 CHANNELS OF 200 watts to drive the SVS Speakers. I BELIEVE this will be a nice present to me for reaching retirement age. I have a 600 sq. foot room to place all this gear in. This should make for a killer theatre, audio room.
That sounds absolutely amazing. You might never want to leave that room 😳
Oh and congrats on your retirement!
Should have also reviewed with different amps or at least AVR vs Dedicated Amp in 2 channel and 5+ channel. That power makes a pretty big difference.
at 7:10 you say this works best with dedicated power. Can you comment on how it would sound with only a receiver power (100-120 rms) ? great review ! thanks for the input!
It would sound fine with receiver power. My problem with that is the receiver doesn’t deliver power as reliably as a dedicated amp and dynamics at higher volumes can suffer as a result. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but something you notice after using an amp
how about a side by side comparison with the newest Ultra Evolution Pinnacle ?
Would you run these towers as Full Band or SMALL with crossover at 80hz?
For movies, 80hz. For music, full
How did they compare to the arendals?
I’m curious too. The arendal 1723 THx S
Arendals 1723, klipsch rf 7iii, or svs ultra towers... which one would you pick?
I’ve never heard those Klipsches, but I bought the Arendals, if that tells you anything
I would really like to see a magnat transpuls 1500 vs svs ultra tower test.
My question is how do they stack up to the 1723 towers and center you have? I'm about to upgrade my front stage and Arendal have been my top choice but I'm curious what you have to say. Hope you see this so I get your impressions.
I prefer the Arendals. They sound more balanced, open and have better stereo imaging
@@tHAvIlLaMaN thanks are they worth the asking price because they ain't cheap lol
I would go with the 1723 towers but they are just too big for my space. They do cost $1000 a pair more too. They do not go as low as the SVS either. Pay $300 more for each speaker and get the RF 7iii from Klipsch. Those 10" woofers?? The only thing the RC 64 iii is stupid money.
@@michaelp7185 I don't like the horns from klipsch and the woofers on the svs are of no use to me I wouldn't be using them. I was just curious what he had to say since I've heard the svs before and I have the Arendal on order but the towers are still back ordered. For the last year just about everyone I talked to say the 1723 are very good and have the exact signature I like. I was going to get PSA but after hearing the horns on those I opted out they are to aggressive for my taste. Sadly my ears can't handle horns and that took JTR off my list also.
But I have towers the center and monitors on order and when they release 1723 heights Ill replace my svs elevations also. Thanks for your input
@@taxi615 Believe me I would love those 1723's. Enjoy!
I have the SVS Ultras, and my opinion is they are on the "bright" side of neutral, at least for critical music listening. Since you felt they were warm, where would you say the Arendals are on the spectrum, warm-neutral-bright?
Having never heard the SVS Ultras, that would have been my guess. I usually find traditional metal dome tweeters to be on the brighter side of neutral.
@@brucecarter6205 There is one store here that had the Ultra Towers. They were not as big as everyone is saying in my opinion. The center image was very good. Low risk buy if you ask me and I hear the customer service is good. Beside you want to deal with a company in Norway that manufactures in China? Imagine having to send it back? Not
@@michaelp7185 SVS are also assembled in China BTW
I don't think it was clear, are you switching to these speakers or keeping your old ones
Great review. I keep going back and forth on the book shelves or the towers. You recommended the towers for a medium to large room. What do you consider a medium size room?
I’d consider anything over about 170sq ft medium sized, in which case I’d recommend the towers. Especially them being full range
I think the Ultra Towers need another 6 1/2 inch midrange driver to handle the lower midrange frequencies.
GR Research does an upgraded DIY crossover kit that improves these towers, there is a detailed teardown that shows the cheap parts they used in the crossover, alum wires etc etc, it would be nice to see you listen to both and give your thoughts if its worth the upgrade, and if the Ultras are better then the Arendal 1723 THX towers with that upgrade, for movies and music 50/50 split. I am running 2 PB3000 subs and kept my original sealed Paradigm Ultra Cube 12, so over 7k watts of bass and my Paradigm Monitor 11 towers are just not doing anything for the midrange punch that I am looking for. I am looking to upgrade and just heard about the Arendals through Adioholics a week ago, so very curios as to which is the better option. I listen to crazy loud Heavy Metal and Metalcore , as well as House and hip hop and Dance.
Hey buddy do you use a power conditioner.
What projector are you running right now in the background ?
HU85LA ?
Yup! ruclips.net/video/pZB5dnicQdM/видео.html
Thanks for the great video. I have owned the ultra towers for a year now and think they are the best speaker under 4k a pair. I don't think anything I've heard or read about comes close. And you will 100% not find another full sized pair of towers for 2k that can come close to the bass response without a powerful subwoofer.
The only downside is you need room to keep the side firing woofers away from walls, and you need to feed them high quality power. 300 dollar av receivers won't do it.
What receiver do you use
Listen to the dali 40s from 1980s. Bass down to 25hz . Amazing bottom end low and tight with thump. 2 front 8 inch drivers 2 internal 8 inch drivers
Are this speakers better than rp8000f?
They have a more neutral sound signature unlike the RP8000Fs which can sound bright to some people. Midrange and bass response is good on both
Makes me really want a full theater set up again.... I'm such a fan until I got married and wifey hates the wires so much and went sound bar route
Oh man... not even if you run the wires in the walls or use cable channels?
@@tHAvIlLaMaN it's so funny because now I see many nice looking wireless speakers options... but you still need to plug in the power lol.... we need serious hi-fi wireless options and I dunno maybe battery powered lol....year 2021 now there must be a way
Have you gotten rid of all your lamps too?! 😉
Are the ultras significantly better than the prime pinnacle?
in the midrange and lows yes
I love my be 705 s2 myself
As I watch this I'm thinkin' - wow, those sound really great! Then I realize that really great sound is coming from my Yamaha speakers. So shout out to Yamaha! lol
Still don't have a clear opinion on how the SVS Ultra compare to the SVS Prime Pinnacle, some people actually prefer the latter despite being cheaper 🙄. Any feedback from someone that has been able to compare them directly would be very welcome.
I haven’t been able to compare them personally but I’ve read a few trusted reviews that the pinnacles sound better for movies if they are paired with a dedicated Sub or 2 because they evidently sound crisper/less boomy. I personally have purchased the pinnacles, ultra center, ultra surrounds for side and rears, 2 SB- 4000 subs and the elevations for the heights but have all of them still in boxes until my room construction is complete.
SVS or Arendal?
SVS rocks
got the same speakers :)
What sanus rack is that in the background?
It’s a 27U one ruclips.net/video/PMB0AOLqeoI/видео.html
These speakers deserve better than an AVR. I'd use them with no less than 200wpc separates.
I used an amp with them
What are they like against the Arendal sound you prefer SvS
I liked the Arendals so much I bought them 😄
@@tHAvIlLaMaN haha thanks for the reply I'm thinking of getting them in the near future
Nice. Well whichever one you get I’m sure you’ll love it
Arendal
The Def Tech STL speakers you don’t need a subwoofer. The 12 inch drivers are ridiculous
Price aside.. these or klipsch rf7's
Price aside... Revels
Hey Villaman!! Have you tried the Klipsch RF7-III's?
No I haven’t (yet)
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Would be nice if (when) you do. Deff let us know
這個有點意思啊，吃飯不積極，思想有問題，所以還得抓緊時間阿
They are phenomenal speakers at their price point, especially paired with a solid amp that can sustain 150w or better.. Sustain, not peak folks.. those peak 150w amps are really more like 60w amps
I had these and the surrounds plus the heights and traded them in for the Arendal 1723 S Moniors and surrounds. The Arendals blow these out if the water, especially the center channel Arendal speaker.
I wouldn’t mind hearing them again, but the one time I heard them they were, dry, sterile, and kinda flat sounding while also being very clear.
The look is a bit Darth Vadery for me.
Great gear. Canadians dont buy from electronics for less canada, they sell used svs gear as new and do not refund or awnser phone. Beware
Foyst!
Yessir
These are beautiful speakers but damn they been around for awhile now. They need to give them some metallic grills to remove those ugly holes when you showcase them without the grills
I'm I the only one who can't see any of the vids that are uploaded? I just see a green screen 🧐

@@tHAvIlLaMaN I was able to watch em few weeks ago but I'll try and use my browser
And who can afford them!!!
I have some svs . Honestly they SUCK !!
On paper they are good, and they sound good.. but they use cheap Chinese capacitors and Aluminium wiring.. there’s upgrade kits online to bring them to where they should be… they are overpriced for the cheap internals.
SVS uses cheapest versions of Peerless drivers as Peerless NEO is far better, and the crossover components are "slow" electrolytic caps rather than aluminum or copper film caps (which the former are less than $1 and the latter is vastly faster and the sound change is obvious), their 18/20 ga iron wound inductors are all less than $3 with the ability to handle large signals minimized by wiring that is better for tweeters only. The internal wiring is garbage aluminum with superior hookup wire which I use COPPER ANGELIQUE® WIRE PTFE. The SVS Ultra Tower I have tested against my Maggie 3.6r (revised with much better components and wiring and actively bi-amped and the difference is staggering. Clarity, depth, width, and the ability to identify instruments independently rather than a mosh of sound is huge and classical live recordings of the late 60s to early 80s one can identify the sections of the orchestra compared to terribly non-detailed mush for low end and a midrange that is infinitely faster and HF of the aluminum tweeter of SVS is again the lower end of their product range.
I can see by the setup few account for the room acoustics and most "audiophiles" today are mouthpieces for product and what they see, not what they hear. The older B&W matrix is also far beyond these eliminating standing waves internally. The listening room is almost shown as live and little ability to position, let along the most important aspect of the music is the elimination of standing wave in the listening room with damping control and walls that are not "flat" and poorly constructed cheap boards with a few coats of paint.
The crossover in these are cheaply made.
