5.0 out of 5 starsSound quality unbeatable until you double the cost!

I cannot say enough good things about these speakers. I auditioned many speakers, and could not find better sounding units for the money. Are there better sounding speakers? Absolutely there are. But you have to spend at least double to beat them. If you are looking for audiophile sound quality without breaking the bank these are your speaker.
The highs are bright and crisp without much coloration and no harshness. They play incredibly deep, and hit harder than you can imagine. The bass is controlled, punchy, and full but never gets boomy. They reproduce sound faithfully and are fairly efficient. That last bit are their biggest downfall. They are so faithful that they make poor sources sound poor. It truly is garbage in garbage out. A lot of speakers color the sound with resonances. These do not (which is good). If you bring someone over to show off, make sure you use a high quality source (Blu-ray, CD, high bitrate audio).
You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 starsFor the money absolutely the best speakers I have owned

Color: Black Ash Pair|Verified Purchase
For the money absolutely the best speakers I have owned. I use these for stereo audio recordings... I play vinyl records, CDs, and live streaming from my laptop through a Parasound 2.1 Integrated amp. I live in an apartment so I can't turn the volume too high.. the response from these speakers is remarkable. I can not believe the bass response I get even at moderate volumes. I have a pair of Klipsch Heresey speakers that I love but have to drive them much harder to get the same balanced top to bottom response and that is just to loud for my situation. I'm not saying these SVS Prime speakers are better than the Klipsch, or the Polk or the Martin Logans I have but they are the best at the volumes I must live with in my current quarters.. Also these SVS Primes are very compact in size which makes them very appealing in a smaller setting. I've read that at high volumes these can distort in the higher frequency range... I've not experienced that personally but it is something to keep in mind if you plan on really loud volumes. I have tried many speakers and I've liked them all but none outperform these SVS speakers at modest volumes.

I love these speakers. Fabulous sound that is detailed and balanced. The piano gloss is beautiful. SVS customer service is top notch. Could not be happier with this purchase.
