I had similar experience with SVS prime tower. Would occasionally hear things behind me, for 2 c channel listening, they were bright and fatiguing, with the bass lacking, but cable of going deep. Amazing imaging, and would just disappear. Great for movies, and great in many ways for music, but would often turn up too loud to get bass, and then my ears were damaged, ringing from the mods and highs. People would say, your amp is not big enough. So upgraded to Rotel 200 Watt amp, no difference. Switched to Polk R700, which were better in many ways, but cannot disappear, and took a single ended tube amp to get the same level of imaging. But still can’t get audio to come from behind me like with SVS. Cleanest, tightest bass comes from acoustic suspension, sealed enclosures. Speaker companies have gotten away from this…too many bass reflex designs now. Love your music list. AWOL nation, sail…glad I am not the only one.
SVS is a great company. They helped me through an issue that they frankly didn't need to and had my interests in mind as much as their own. That support experience is one I won't forget. My theater will always have SVS subs in it and these towers are tempting.
“For home theatre I definitely prefer unported” - does that mean you prefer the foam plug IN the port or OUT of the port for home theatre? Sorry, this was a bit confusing. Hoping the bass is considerably faster with the foam plug IN the port, I’m also very picky when it comes to bass. Thanks for the review :) greetings from Australia
Arendal has a 10-year warranty and you get their top-of-the-line speakers, with 8-inch drivers, better build quality and metal grills for less than the Titans. Please review Arendal speakers when you get a chance.
I have the Pinnacle on my short list. I'm thinking this Titan review will track with the Pinnacle as well. By the way, what size is your room? And I'm from Nashville; I get your comments about classic country and agree.
They are getting great reviews but the tweeter my be a bit “bright” and the response looks a bit janky but they get great reviews Andrew Robinson likes them
i love svs but 4 g's for a pair is not budget friendly imo. thats why i am glad i went vintage and picked up a pair of Energy APS5+2 for 1k that i think can hang with anything modern many times that price.
Wow Absolute sound standards have gone down.......... that listening room is horrible. More reflection than a house of mirrors. Anything she says can't be taken serious. Especially if she judges audio equipment in that "listening room"😂 sorry buy a rug at least. What a joke. Lol
She doesn't know what she's talking about. the hesitations, stops, starts and restarts, plus her glances at the teleprompter, and her constant rising intonation, indicates she is totally at sea with the content, and context. But I thought that was supercool... like, whatever?
Plenty of speakers not made in the Peoples’ Republic of China For the $$$ one would hope that they could be built in USA assuming they were built in China
@@Pete.across.the.street that must be a rhetorical question. I prefer U.S. and I should have added European speakers. I do have some from Israel that are nice.
Next level piece of crap next year another piece of crap that's only affordable by a certain fiew can be yours for the low price of 10.000 dollars. all reviewers say the same about all speakers .they are all great right. to much for watching movies. do you watch movies at concert levels.I have speakers half the price. And sound better If you get them I can only say you are getting them for there looks. They are artistic if that's what you want to pay 3000 to 5000 only for.
Good to mention your discovery about blocking the bass ports with the foam plugs. 👍

Yes definitely
I have the 1723 towers
Cynthis, would you trade your Magepans for the SVS Titans?

Well done looks like a great set!
The speakers?
kislux versace bag is so cute
Greetings from Toronto ☕️
Great review.
I look forward to hearing these at the upcoming Toronto Audiofest 😊
Have a great weekend.
Why is the video and voice over totally out of sync?
until about 9 minutes.. it looks way off.. that's strange.

Cynthia, well done very nice interview! Your fan - Adrian.
Very nice review… these are terrific value but may not compete with High end like Dynaudio or Magico…
Dynaudio don't measure all that well, nor are they or magico's everyone's ideal.
These vs Sourcepoint 888, someone pls.
If they had a soft dome tweeter, these would be totally worth it
Bliss on Mushrooms... Crazy! Thanks!
They are getting great reviews but the tweeter my be a bit “bright” and the response looks a bit janky but they get great reviews
Andrew Robinson likes them
Aluminum domes are usually pretty harsh, doesn't sound like the diamond coating on these is doing the trick
Andrew has better electronics and a nice big room.
most disappointing video from the absolute sound I have seen .. not good ,, sorry
Very unprofessional, figures
Man, that room is a joke.😂 how can you take anything she says serious if that is her listening room.
Cool

LOL, yes, how are these wallet friendly? $6000 a pair Canadian!!!

I can't get over how horrible her listening room is. Not even a rug. Lol
“Slow Bass” ???
sound test plz do not just talk!!!
It wouldn't matter in that crappy room. Lol
Apparently pple can't afford affordable...
Made in China.
Can you actually live not using anything from China? Mobile phones, laptops, solar energy, toys, batteries....
All of the best stuff is

there is no "D" in Titan.
There will be a D in Titan if she get’s lucky 🤔
