SVS Prime Series speaker system review

With effortless performance, elegant design, and striking value, SVS' Prime Series hits the ultimate sweet spot in the audiophile segment.

Ruddy, authoritative bass ; Airy, natural sounding upper register ; Warm, yet luminous midrange ; Elegant, stylish design (especially with gloss finish) ; Excellent value

Center channel not quite as balanced as we’d like ; Don’t reach some of the deeper details of dialog and instrumental attack

With a warm, yet vividly clear sound signature, elegant design, and striking value, SVS’ Prime Series Towers hit the ultimate sweet spot in the audiophile segment. Add in brilliantly balanced bookshelves, and a formidable center speaker, and the Prime...

SVS Prime Bookshelf 5.1 System Official AVS Forum Review

In my review of the SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 system , I promised a follow-up review of a Prime-based 5.1.4 Atmos-compatible system using every speaker within the line. That review is in the queue, but I want to hear more about DTS:X before I delve into...

The Prime Bookshelf and Center sound excellent, with the same sonic character as the Satellites, but with greater overall capability. When I fed them enough power to experience their full potential, I heard a very capable set of speakers. The only...
