SVS Prime Bookshelf Speaker, Pair - Black Ash (Pack of1)

I am not an audio expert, but I do recognize and appreciate high quality sound. After 50+ years of mediocre equipment I recently treated myself to these speakers, paired with a Yamaha A-S801 amp and BD-S681 DVD/CD player. After two months of listening 8+ hours a day I very much regret not improving my audio system 50 years ago. Life is too short to hear muddy midrange all day long. These speakers are a delight to my ears. After installing the new setup I connected several sets of old speakers to the B channel so that I could do easy A-B testing of the SVS speakers. All the older speakers sounded awful compared to the SVS Primes. My prior setup had Polk 5" somethings, which had served me well for years. But they lost a lot of their charm when I compared them to the SVS Primes. The old Polks will now find duty as surround speakers on my TV setup. The new SVS will live beside me all day in my office. The sound and build quality seem very good at this price point. I didn't compare them to more costly speakers, but I don't have room or budget for larger and more expensive gear. If these speakers fit your budget than consider them a very safe bet.

These are great speakers. I am replacing the pioneer Andrews Jones bookshelf's and the Sony core series bookshelf's. The amount of low end that Primes produce is remarkable after listening to the pioneers. I highly recommend the Svs Primes.

I would recommend to by these from amazon

Used with a subwoofer and these things sound incredible! They do well by themselves to. They are heavy built, no they are not cheap, but not expensive either,you get what you pay for. These are still an excellent value because of how good they are! SVS is a good company with a good warranty!

I wanted a pair of bookshelf speakers for my bedroom which will sound better than what I had but won't break the bank... I researched articles on 10 best bookshelf speakers under $500 and SVS prime popped up not on top but in the top 3 on some list. I did not even consider SVS until a friend of mine who is really into audiophile music mentioned this brand. SVS is really known for sub-woofers but they get good reviews on speakers as well. After additional research, I decided to go on a limb and ordered this. Other top picks were cheaper in price (which may explain why they are on top) but I want performance at my price band. The speakers were well built, beautifully finished. And they sound so beautifully. I fell in love with them in the first few minutes. I used some test tones to test the bass and they kick in at 20 hertz...bass was deep but tight...my room started to shake at around 40 hertz...quite something for bookshelf speakers...The mids and the highs were very musical...I was so happy that I went with SVS...songs I've heard so many times before sounded so much better as if they were new... I have listened to music 5 hours a day ever since I got these speakers... couldn't get enough.
