    2 way and 3 do make a big difference. I went into a Best Buy Magnolia center and heard the difference. It depends on your 👂🏼 hearing preference.
    I’ve always had a 2 way Polk Audio center and didn’t know what I was missing. So I’m now an SVS Prime center channel guy with dual PB-1000 Pros and Polk OWM F/R for now till I upgraded them to SVS Elevations. Everybody has different styles and budgets💰 that’s why there is so many speaker out there for everyone. 🔊👍🏼🙏🏼✌🏼

    I've owned a SVS Ultra center for a while now. Just acquired an older Paradigm CC-390 which is an enormous three-way center that makes my Ultra look absolutely tiny! Wow, the difference is astronomical, the Paradigm is so clear, detailed and dynamic. The Ultra is amazing but this CC-390 is next level. I wish SVS made something similar.

    High and Mid is directional and needs to be pointed towards listening position, only low frequency is non-directional coz you feel the bass more than you hear it. 3:36 Saying that your 3 way centre channel doesn't require you to be centred towards listening position is hard to believe.

      I know there wasn't any reply but the best hometheater setups uses tower speakers for center channel centers were made because alot of people don't want the TV mounted too high for example the very best setup let's say a 5.2 would consist of all of the exact same speaker would sound the best I use 5 towers in my set up all the exact same if money is no object thats how you get the very best sound by far if not try to match speaker in all the same line up yes a tower is over Kill for rears but why not if I have the ability to have the best sound as possible you don't need 2 5k towers won't sound ad good at 5 towers that cost 1k taking about svs ultras by the say in how theater but for just music the 2 5k towers will sound better talking about kef towers

  • @number1pappy
    @number1pappy 4 года назад +7

    The klipsch rc64 as well as a other klipsch centers are not truelly 2 way and are more 3 way than you think. To say svs is the only 3 way center is disingenuous! Another point is the svs mid range driver is extremely small. Midrange is kinda a big deal when trying to get a true representation of the speech in movies and lyrics. Klipsch uses midrange the same size as the bass drivers. I've listened to both klipsch and svs and klipsch clearly gives a better midrange resolution.

      Ultra costs about $300 more, for that you get 3x the audio quality. Totally different drivers and materials (save for the HF tweeter). It's well worth it. The only thing Polk Audio now has in a 3-way Legend L400 and costs $2,000, and uses the same exact size drivers as the SVS Sound Ultra does. Just saying.... easy math.

It would be hard to tell based on your own hearing and room it could differ. I wish I could tell you which one.

    The only thing the SVS ULTRA CENTER has going for it's looks. It leans toward the Harley in us but when it comes to sound quality it is very disappointing. If you think this sounds good. Get off your ass and go to a sound room somewhere and compare it to cheaper better sounding center speakers. I am so disappointed with the lack of impressive sound. I replace a Polk Audio CS1 SERIES II center and no audible difference to speak of. The clarity is simply not there. My Def Tec D11's blow it away. My Fluance sig series sound better.
