I’ve been dealing with SVS for 13 years, and have purchased and recommended a number of systems throughout the years. My PB12-Plus subwoofers are still going strong, and I just purchased a 2.1 satellite + SB1000 Pro system for my office. I’ve contacted their customer service for everything from product service to speaker placement to speaker recommendations and even amplifier recommendations. They’ve always gone above and beyond my expectations, and I cannot stress enough how important, and how great SVS’s service has been.
I’ve had SVS speakers over 15 years and I can attest to their excellent customer service. Aside from the excellent sound quality, one of the reasons I gravitate towards them. I’m ordering another setup - a 2.1 satellite system for my desk this week.
Ggghhj I’ve had my Polk Audio 11t standing speakers for 47 years and they are still in Showroom condition. And now they’re being used as my front stage along with Polk Center. The rear wides are also Polks. This year I added the SVS Elevation Primes for the front height Atmos. Will be adding another pair of them as the rear Heights along with the rear surrounds Prime Bookshelf. Will it affect the speaker timbre. And will be replacing the two Velodyne Subwoofer for the SVS SB-1000.
With most of your ear-level speakers being Polk, I don't think you'll notice much of a difference in timbre, since Atmos effects are a little more subtle and atmospheric, typically. You'll most likely notice timbre differences between fronts and center, or front soundstage and surrounds.
Almost to 5k Subs. Grats cuz. When we get to Colorado and finally settle down in a house, I'm going to have to come back to your videos for reference on how to set up my home theater setup. Hope you guys are doing well. Tell them Justin says hi.
Dude, you have so many great reviews it’s hard for me to nail down the system I want. I was leaning towards the Costco 5.0.2 Klipsch speakers (I found them on Amazon prime for 100 more than Costco) then came across these. It sounds like you really know your stuff, if you wouldn’t mind giving your expert opinion with around 3k to spend reciever included with today’s availability which system would you recommend me looking into? I really love a punchy bass oriented setup.
@@ealanosborne but im enjoy my poor sistem phillips hts3564. Bluray. For now is good maybe in future if have a world again try buy new tv and home theater but if a leave in Usa is better good stuff and good price thanks for attention you are funny and good professor thanks
Thank you for the review and for the comparison with the klipsch pack. I was considering both and now I am certainly siding more with svs. Can't wait to get a set of them on a trial and see how they sound with my new Yamaha Tsr-700 receiver.
I cannot think of any situation where you wouldn't be better off with another speaker on the channel these satellites occupy. I have old Audiosource LS-200 speakers that can produce low frequencies that these SVS satellites cannot. They lack frequencies that are in the vocal range and still directional, so you will have an impacted center channel for dialog. I guess you will have to put the sub right under your TV.
I recently mounted my SVS heights on the ceiling and one of them fell and and stopped working, I called SVS they sent me a new one without charge, I sent the other one back it was that easy and simple...
Hi Ealan, do you have or plan on doing a step-by-step video on how to calibrate home theater speakers with a Denon AVR? by way of (Audyssey) your videos are very easy to follow. Your approach and the way you break it down make it very easy to follow and understand, not to mention also funny. I have watched other videos and there confusing or get very technical. Please let me know your thoughts
Hmmm...I would love to do that, although I wish I had a receiver with Audyssey XT32. My Onkyo has AccuEQ, which is okay, but Audyssey seems to be the industry standard and more people would probably have it on their receiver anyway. One of these days I’ll be rich enough to just go out and buy a receiver just to review for y’all on RUclips! 😀
I’m between this and maybe upgrading later with height speakers or the Costco Klipsch Referece Dolby atmos package. What do you think is the better option in reference to sound quality. My ceiling height is 9’ and room is around 12’x20’. Thanks!
The SVS 5.1 package sounds more neutral than Klipsch, but if you like to have a slightly brighter sound (dialog a bit more clear in the higher frequencies, a little more sizzle) then go with the Klipsch. Klipsch might fill your space a little better with those tower speakers, but knowing you have an excellent subwoofer with the SVS package is also something to consider, since the Costco Klipsch package doesn’t come with a subwoofer at all. Customer service is also incredible with SVS. So deciding to upgrade your system over time with SVS is so easy. They are so accommodating. Klipsch is a big corporation, so the personal customer service experience is far inferior to SVS. Just something to think about in the long run. 😀🙌
@@ealanosborne that was my other concern, you’re right about the tower speakers probably filling my room better. I’m diff considering the SVS subwoofer after your great review. Thanks for your prompt response!
Curious on your thoughts about a 5.1.2 with all Klipsch 4 x r41m, r52c and r41sa and a 12 synergy sub. Powered by the Sony str dh790 vs going with this svs 5.1 satellite system with the r41sa added.
Hello Ealan, Thanks for this great review. Need your recommendations. Would you recommend this SVS 5.1 system over the new Klipsch Cinema 5.1.4 which i got it for $499 last week from costco ? I did not setup yet as I'm looking out for 9.2 ch receiver for the Klipsch Cinema 5.1.4 . Is the extra money for SVS worth it or the Klipsch Cinema 5.1.4 is a better value for $499? Pls advise. I'm new to AV/Home theater system. I'm getting my first home theatre system for my basement which is getting finished. I'm your subscriber and have been following all your recent videos on the Home theater system. Thanks for your time.
Here’s my take on the subject: The 5.1.4 Cinema system is a better value, ESPECIALLY since you got it for the $499 sale price. It’s a great baseline system to start you off on a home theater journey. That being said, SVS has incredible customer service. So upgrading speakers over time will be SUCH an easier experience going with them. And they have the best subwoofers in their class. So if you enjoy finding deals on your own and like to be independent with your home theater decisions, stick with the Klipsch route. If you want to become part of a family, and even be able to seek advice from their staff (along with great speakers, of course), go with SVS. Make sense? 😁
Great content as always! Does anyone know how the SVS satellite speakers compare to the Klipsch reference cinema speakers? Excluding the subwoofers of each system?? Places around me are closing out the Klipsch 5.1.4 systems for $250. I already have a great sub, and receiver but my speakers are all 15 year old cheap ones. looking for a cheap upgrade. Thanks!!
If it’s a cheap upgrade you’re looking for, that Klipsch system is a steal! You’ll be spending around $1,000 for the SVS system (although the speakers are a bit superior). If this is a stepping stone to getting bigger and better things eventually, go with the Klipsch system for now. It’ll scratch that itch at least for awhile. 😁🤘
@@mikemmikem2758 They still haven’t given me an exact date, or even a range of dates. But they eluded to possibly summertime? I hope so! 🤞 I can’t wait either! 😄
Hey Ealan! What do you think about these prime satellites vs Polk ES10 satellites? I want a 5.1 or 7.1 for my 2nd room and can’t decide. I would also pair it with the Prime Center or Polk ES30 with a TBD subwoofer.
SVS all day, baby! If you’re still TBD on a subwoofer, the PB-1000 Pro from SVS is by far best in its price range and class. But on top of that, once you do business with SVS for the first time, more than likely you’ll become a loyal customer because of their incredible service, still being a relatively small company. 🤘
I keep seeing people saying the Klipsh is $299. Its actually $1,349 on their website, which leads me to believe most people are accidentally buying counterfeits.
I don’t think so. It’s just retail price, which is usually WAY more than the price it’s actually sold. When I got mine for $350 several years ago, seemed legit. Not like a knock off or anything. 🤘
If you’re trying to save money, it does a pretty decent job, despite the size of the satellite speakers. But ultimately, I’d go with larger speakers with a room that size, if possible.
What speaker mounts do you use for Your ceiling speakers or any you Recommend I have the klipsch reference theater pack Trying to do the dolby atmos the same way you did I have the bookshelf speakers too and 2 Subwoofer
@@ealanosborne Hey man. Great stuff as usual. I'm looking for ceiling mounts as well, but just for the speakers in the klipsch reference pack, I don't have the bookshelf speakers yet. Can the ones in your link be used as well? If not, Is there a complete set of mounts that I can use for them?
@@4midable4ce yeah those same mounts are fine. Since they screw into the back of those Klipsch satellites, they’re in there good. And they can withstand 22 lbs, which those little satellites don’t even come close to 👍
Great and timely video was just getting ready to pull the trigger on the klipsch reference pack and this gave me pause. I have two jbl tower speakers could I use this svs pack along with those towers to turn it into a 7.1 system?
Oh absolutely! Your only limitation is your receiver in that case. So if it can handle 7 channels, you got yourself a sweet setup with your towers and this SVS Prime System. 🙌
SVS’s customer service is legendary. Talk to them. They can get you exactly what you need if their website doesn’t quite give you the options you’re looking for
Im looking at both the svs prime kit and the klipsch tower atmos kit at cosco. Which would you recommend? Both are at about the same price point. Thank you.
Hmmm…tough call. The Klipsch package gives you those nice towers, but no subwoofer. And the SVS Prime package gets you an incredible sub and decent satellite speakers. If you don’t have anything yet, get the SVS. If you already have a sub, get the Klipsch. Although both you can slowly build off of as time goes on, so there’s the plus side to either option. 🙌
@@ealanosborne thank you for your reply. I'll be starting fresh but would like to invest in the best speakers I can budget. Seems the two sets are a pretty solid choice. In terms of speaker clarity and "surround" sound would you advise?
@@lukebodine3002 Ah ha. Well then I’d probably go with the Klipsch. They’re notoriously sensitive, meaning it doesn’t take as much power to get them loud as other speakers. And heck, if it’s in your budget, might as well get the SVS 1000 Pro as well!
@@lukebodine3002 Well, if you’re gonna order or purchase from Costco, might as well get the receiver there, too! Out of the 3 they sell, the Yamaha is probably #1 since it’s the newest and is 8K ready, so it’s more future proof. Then I’d say Denon is #2 since it’s a very “smart” receiver, although I’ve personally been disappointed with video switching glitches with Denons. I have a 9 channel Onkyo receiver, so I’m sure the 7 channel Costco sells is great! But it is the oldest model of the bunch and could use some updated bells and whistles. So that’s why I think it’d be #3, although they are all pretty comparable. 👍
SVS sent this to me when I did the review, and then I had to send it back. But if I'm not mistaken, SVS's online shopping site allows you to create your own unique package. So you should be able to choose the 5.1 Prime Satellite system as a baseline, and still choose a PB-1000 Pro to go along with it.
Hi, I am planning on upgrading my home theatre system in the next year. I currently have Studio Acoustics SA1.8T towers, a Studio Acoustics centre speaker and 2 random small satelite speakers as surrounds and an old sony receiver from the 90s. I would like to upgrade to a Denon AVC-X4700H, Klipsch RP-8000F towers, Klipsch RP-504c Center speaker, Klipsch RP-502s surround speakers and an SVS PB 1000 Pro subwoofer. Now I was going to use the Klipsch Reference Theatre Pack Satelite speakers as Front and Rear Height speakers for atmos as i found a place selling the speakers individually however now that I have seen this video I wonder which ones you would recommend for my purpose, the Klipsch or the SVS satelites?
Hi! Well, that is going to be an incredible system, especially with those RP-8000F towers. For height channels, I’d honestly go for some SVS Prime Elevations since they’re meant to be height channels, being angled slightly. And they have some nice mounting brackets that cost extra, but are worth it since it’s not some third party cheap bracket. I know that Klipsch system will be insanely cool, but if you get SVS Prime Elevations and a PB-1000 Pro sub, you might consider getting an SVS Ultra surround system so your speakers are all timbre-matched, all being the same brand. They’re Ultra towers are on par with the RP-8000F, in my opinion. Just something to consider, since SVS is a great company to deal with. Very personal and really care about your home theater needs. 🙌
@@ealanosborne thanks for your response, i don't know if I'll be able to afford the elevation speakers, what I'm already getting is going to cost me around $10k (i live in Australia) and that's with some things on sale and also excluding speaker wire and other things that may be needed. Also this is for my bedroom lmao. I know this is incredibly overkill for that but I'm 20 years old and still live at home with my parents but i would probably move out in the next few years and I'll be able to take all this with me and then it can be appropriately setup in my living room. The Klipsch Satellite speakers are being sold for $250AUD each so if i buy 4 it will cost me $1000, i assume the SVS Elevations would cost significantly more haha. At the moment I'm just interested in the satellites as they can be mounted on a bracket and angled down towards me also and then in the future maybe after i move out i can get the elevations. I'm not too concerned with everything being timbre matched as I've never experienced a system with 100% matching speakers. So just out of the klipsch and svs satellites, which do you feel would sound best as height speakers?
@@AydinHuss Ohhhhh, okay. Didn’t realize you were speaking to me from down under. 😀 I do think the SVS speakers will sound better than the Klipsch, but if it’s going to cost a lot, having Klipsch satellites as your height channels will still be a good way to go. I don’t think you’d be disappointed with either option, so it just depends on your budget. 🙌
Denon AVR-S750H or Yamaha RX-V6A or Sony STR-DH790. All of which are 7 channels, so you have the option of adding 2 more channels later, if you wanna go 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos someday. 😀👍
Most definitely. Most conventional 5 channel or 7 channel receivers will go perfect with a system like this that has small satellites speakers with big sound. 🙌
You just use one of the satellites as a center channel. But no horizontal-shaped center channel, like you might be used to. Although SVS also does sell that type of center channel, which you could substitute in. 👍
Hey Ealan, with a budget of around 1,000 would a soundbar like the nakamichi shockwafe 7.2 soundbar be a better value than a budget home theater build? I'm having a hard time finding a speaker+Receiver bundle that has tons of value. Thanks for the help!
I will personally take wired speakers+receiver over a soundbar any day. Yes, it’s more work to set up, but worth it in the end, since it’s a wider, more discrete soundstage. You’ll get more power and more reliability, too. 👍
I’d suggest Sony STR-DH790 or Denon AVR-S750H or Yamaha TSR-700. All of which can support up to 7 channels, in case you decide to add 2 more speakers at some point.
Svs subwoofer sb 1000 this i have give a lot bass in my system rest are all kef speakers also 2 atmos on the front left and right from. For me is it the best subwoofer afther my old one for 22 years that was a rel subwoofer but he is dead now.
Haha! Well that’s just the difference between a corporation like Klipsch and a company like SVS. I’d still love to have a relationship with Klipsch in SOME capacity. Some day... 😄

Did it ordered a pair of piano gloss satellites for surround and only 118 shipped !! Love svs
@@danemoreno88 Yayyyy! Happy New Year to yooouuuuu! 🥳🎉
@@ealanosborne happy new years Ealan 🎊🎉 hope you have continued success in your channel
Great review
Great and timely video was just getting ready to pull the trigger on the klipsch reference pack and this gave me pause. I have two jbl tower speakers could I use this svs pack along with those towers to turn it into a 7.1 system?
Oh absolutely! Your only limitation is your receiver in that case. So if it can handle 7 channels, you got yourself a sweet setup with your towers and this SVS Prime System. 🙌
@@ealanosborne I am picking up that sweet yamaha 700 receiver from Costco that you covered
How did you get the PB 1000 pro with the 5.1 system?
SVS’s customer service is legendary. Talk to them. They can get you exactly what you need if their website doesn’t quite give you the options you’re looking for
I am thinking about this system, but don't have an AV for it. What would be the best one for this system, with the intent to add Atmos later.
Sony STR-DH790, Denon AVR-S750H, Yamaha RX-V6A, Sony STR-DN1080
I think I ordered those lowest to highest price 😄👍
Im looking at both the svs prime kit and the klipsch tower atmos kit at cosco. Which would you recommend? Both are at about the same price point. Thank you.
Hmmm…tough call. The Klipsch package gives you those nice towers, but no subwoofer. And the SVS Prime package gets you an incredible sub and decent satellite speakers. If you don’t have anything yet, get the SVS. If you already have a sub, get the Klipsch. Although both you can slowly build off of as time goes on, so there’s the plus side to either option. 🙌
@@ealanosborne thank you for your reply. I'll be starting fresh but would like to invest in the best speakers I can budget. Seems the two sets are a pretty solid choice. In terms of speaker clarity and "surround" sound would you advise?
@@lukebodine3002 Ah ha. Well then I’d probably go with the Klipsch. They’re notoriously sensitive, meaning it doesn’t take as much power to get them loud as other speakers. And heck, if it’s in your budget, might as well get the SVS 1000 Pro as well!
Sweet!
What reciever would you recommend for that particular setup ?
@@lukebodine3002 Well, if you’re gonna order or purchase from Costco, might as well get the receiver there, too!
Out of the 3 they sell, the Yamaha is probably #1 since it’s the newest and is 8K ready, so it’s more future proof. Then I’d say Denon is #2 since it’s a very “smart” receiver, although I’ve personally been disappointed with video switching glitches with Denons. I have a 9 channel Onkyo receiver, so I’m sure the 7 channel Costco sells is great! But it is the oldest model of the bunch and could use some updated bells and whistles. So that’s why I think it’d be #3, although they are all pretty comparable. 👍
Your patreon link doesn't work 🤔
Did you buy the pb-1000 pro separately or how did you buy the pack with pb-1000 pro?
SVS sent this to me when I did the review, and then I had to send it back. But if I'm not mistaken, SVS's online shopping site allows you to create your own unique package. So you should be able to choose the 5.1 Prime Satellite system as a baseline, and still choose a PB-1000 Pro to go along with it.
@@ealanosborne Thank you.
Hi, I am planning on upgrading my home theatre system in the next year. I currently have Studio Acoustics SA1.8T towers, a Studio Acoustics centre speaker and 2 random small satelite speakers as surrounds and an old sony receiver from the 90s. I would like to upgrade to a Denon AVC-X4700H, Klipsch RP-8000F towers, Klipsch RP-504c Center speaker, Klipsch RP-502s surround speakers and an SVS PB 1000 Pro subwoofer. Now I was going to use the Klipsch Reference Theatre Pack Satelite speakers as Front and Rear Height speakers for atmos as i found a place selling the speakers individually however now that I have seen this video I wonder which ones you would recommend for my purpose, the Klipsch or the SVS satelites?
Hi! Well, that is going to be an incredible system, especially with those RP-8000F towers.
For height channels, I’d honestly go for some SVS Prime Elevations since they’re meant to be height channels, being angled slightly. And they have some nice mounting brackets that cost extra, but are worth it since it’s not some third party cheap bracket.
I know that Klipsch system will be insanely cool, but if you get SVS Prime Elevations and a PB-1000 Pro sub, you might consider getting an SVS Ultra surround system so your speakers are all timbre-matched, all being the same brand. They’re Ultra towers are on par with the RP-8000F, in my opinion. Just something to consider, since SVS is a great company to deal with. Very personal and really care about your home theater needs. 🙌
@@ealanosborne thanks for your response, i don't know if I'll be able to afford the elevation speakers, what I'm already getting is going to cost me around $10k (i live in Australia) and that's with some things on sale and also excluding speaker wire and other things that may be needed. Also this is for my bedroom lmao. I know this is incredibly overkill for that but I'm 20 years old and still live at home with my parents but i would probably move out in the next few years and I'll be able to take all this with me and then it can be appropriately setup in my living room. The Klipsch Satellite speakers are being sold for $250AUD each so if i buy 4 it will cost me $1000, i assume the SVS Elevations would cost significantly more haha. At the moment I'm just interested in the satellites as they can be mounted on a bracket and angled down towards me also and then in the future maybe after i move out i can get the elevations. I'm not too concerned with everything being timbre matched as I've never experienced a system with 100% matching speakers. So just out of the klipsch and svs satellites, which do you feel would sound best as height speakers?
@@AydinHuss Ohhhhh, okay. Didn’t realize you were speaking to me from down under. 😀 I do think the SVS speakers will sound better than the Klipsch, but if it’s going to cost a lot, having Klipsch satellites as your height channels will still be a good way to go. I don’t think you’d be disappointed with either option, so it just depends on your budget. 🙌
@@ealanosborne thankyou very much, i will look more into the svs satellites then and see what i can do👍🏻
What AV receiver do you recommend with this system?
Denon AVR-S750H or Yamaha RX-V6A or Sony STR-DH790. All of which are 7 channels, so you have the option of adding 2 more channels later, if you wanna go 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos someday. 😀👍
🔥🔥
Could the Costco receivers push this system?
Most definitely. Most conventional 5 channel or 7 channel receivers will go perfect with a system like this that has small satellites speakers with big sound. 🙌
If you're hearing this much difference with their prime speakers, I'm wondering what the differences in their ultras are. 🤔🤔
Exactly... I’d love to get my hands on those ASAP
@@ealanosborne I hope to hear your thoughts if you get your hands on them.
No Center channel with this???
You just use one of the satellites as a center channel. But no horizontal-shaped center channel, like you might be used to. Although SVS also does sell that type of center channel, which you could substitute in. 👍
Hey Ealan, with a budget of around 1,000 would a soundbar like the nakamichi shockwafe 7.2 soundbar be a better value than a budget home theater build? I'm having a hard time finding a speaker+Receiver bundle that has tons of value. Thanks for the help!
I will personally take wired speakers+receiver over a soundbar any day. Yes, it’s more work to set up, but worth it in the end, since it’s a wider, more discrete soundstage. You’ll get more power and more reliability, too. 👍
Sent me new parts for a broken speaker connection no questions asked love svs customer service
What receiver are you using for these?
I’d suggest Sony STR-DH790 or Denon AVR-S750H or Yamaha TSR-700. All of which can support up to 7 channels, in case you decide to add 2 more speakers at some point.
@@ealanosborne appreciate the reply!! Subbing now! =)
@@ealanosborne so the 7.2 means you can add 2 bass subs?
@@rudyvargas2846 Correct! 2 subs are better than 1! 😀🙌
unfair should have had the klipsch r 41m as a comparison.
Svs subwoofer sb 1000 this i have give a lot bass in my system rest are all kef speakers also 2 atmos on the front left and right from. For me is it the best subwoofer afther my old one for 22 years that was a rel subwoofer but he is dead now.
Absolutely. Best value subwoofer out there!
What Is The Price
$999.99
Makes me want to return my Klipsch.
Only because they didn’t reply back to you!!
Haha! Well that’s just the difference between a corporation like Klipsch and a company like SVS. I’d still love to have a relationship with Klipsch in SOME capacity. Some day... 😄
Hi svs prime satilite 5.1 system price plz 🇮🇳
Not sure about India, but it’s $1,000 USD here.
