I went from Pioneer Andrew Jones + SVS 1000 setup to SVS prime satellite + svs Pb2000. The prime satellite speakers aren’t just loud or dynamic enough to be in front stage. I ended up upgrading the front stage to prime bookshelf + prime center.

I had an Audioengine A5+ and Audioengine S8 combo for my computer/office system. This was a superb setup. I replaced the S8 with a SVS SB-1000 sub and all I can say is wow. I gave the S8's to my daughter and she love it; I am also replace my A5+'s with HD6's and will give the A5+'s to my daughter. I just purchased a SVS-SB-1000 and HD3's for my wife's office space. She currently have a Creative audio system and is happy with it but I know she will appreciate the HD3's and the depth the SB-1000 will bring to her system.

[@Johnnytrades101]

Hi Andrew, I have been watching your channel for quite some time, awesome job! --- SVS "speakers", as far as I am concerned are under rated and not reviewed enough. I have been through Paradigm, kef, and a few others, including a dozen different subs, good but not amazing. UNTIL, I ordered SVS Prime Pinnacles, Prime center and bookshelves (5.1) and an SB4000. Powered by 60W x 7 NAD T758 A/V reciever. I can easily get near 90db with the setup, Watching John Wick 3, Aquaman, Fury, Mad Max, they blew me into next week! The punch and dynamics are incredible and can send bullets right through your chest. In addition to that, the best part is, the Pinnacles solo with music with no sub, dig into the 20hz range with authority and detail. Mids and highs are addicting. Absolute pleasure to listen to. From BB King to AC/DC, can't stop listening! Check them out! I am sure a lot of people out there would love them. Cheers!

[@davidcha3511]

Prime Pinnacles have been getting rave reviews. Wonder if upgrading from the Prime center to the Ultra center would be worth it. Or adding a pair of Prime Elevations if your Nad receiver has Dolby Atmos. These upgrades would make your system sound even better for movies.

[@Johnnytrades101]

@@davidcha3511 hi David, I am thinking about the upgrading to the ultra center. The prime center is quite happy with the NAD. But, I'm getting a dedicated power amplifier which might over extend the prime capabilities. SVS upgrade policy is the best in the business!!

Thanks for the review. My budget setup for my temporary condo is...L/R: 2 x Polk s15, C: SVS Satellite, Rear: 2 x SVS Satellites, Budget audio-technica, SVS 14 AWG wire, Jamo S 808 Sub (would have never considered but for your channel, thanks). Wow, vinyl records in 2.0 alone (on large setting) with just the Polks are way better than expected...satellite works great as a center channel. I could even do without the rears...3.1 Budget HiFi/Theater combo. ~12' x 14'' room, 9' viewing/listening center. Thanks for all your channel's talk about warmth vs. accurate, etc. I jumped out on a limb and tried for a warm 2.1, with a balanced theater sound. 5.1 Yamaha RX-V385BL.

[@cardamoncommon]

Just a thought, I'm really looking at a 2.0 or 2.1 Hi-Fi system with a "heritage"-type speaker. Could you do a video on a 3.0 or 3.1 system with a center-channel that matches a great 2.0 Hi-Fi setup? I'd love a Wharfedale Denton 85 or Linton w/ or w/o a sub with a center that can blend for Netflix, sports, or a movie. Mainly, and even a video just on this alone...a Receiver that does Hi-Fi 2.1/2.0 and Surround equally well...boom! How do you become a member and all that?

Hey Andrew. I enjoy your reviews and am just catching up with this one. SVS Primes and Ultras are very good speakers and offer great value for their cost. Have you taken a look at the RSL CG5/CG25 speakers? I have a CG5-CG25-CG5 F-C-F array and they are excellent.I had an RSL Speedwoofer 10S but moved up to an SVS SB-3000 Subwoofer and the entire system just kicks butt. SVS and RSL are at the top of the mountain in regard to customer service and technical support and their no cost return policies are first rate. I don't know if you can get a hold of the RSLs but it you can you might find their speakers to be very interesting.

[@tedmanasa907]

Glad to see that you're offering a membership program; I just joined. Appreciate your content. I'm planning to add ATMOS overheads and was looking at SVS Prime Satellites, primarily because they can be ceiling-mounted (not going to do in-ceiling). Do you think there is a better alternative to the Satellites for that application? My front stage is taken care of by Legacy Audio Silhouettes.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thanks for being a member. I think you're likely going to be just fine with the satellites, as a direct loudspeaker is going to perform better than a reflecting one. Nothing against the reflecting method, it does work, but the closer you can get to the "standard" the better performance you're likely to experience!

[@carbonoxx]

can you review the svs prime bookshelf? will this be better for music? or is a must to have tower speakers?

[@Mike_v_E]

If you combine the bookshelves with a good sub, you won’t know a difference. The tweeter on every SVS Prime and Ultra speaker is designed to sound the same

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

Excellent production as always. I'd be curious how SVS compares to the Klipsch home theater in a box systems. I'm surprised you didn't at least mention any comparison between this system, and the typical soundbar system that the non "audiophile" crowd would be more likely to buy.

Hey good review. I agree that a sub is the weak link in most systems as most people wont drop $500+ on one. One suggestion for you is to push the speakers to the front edge and see if it improves the sound. I'd wager removing the immediate sound reflection off the stand should improve audio clarity and fix that resonant sound issue you were having.

The difference in sound when using Qobuz songs in "CD Quality" and a Hi-Rez quality is so pronounced I only listen to songs in the latter. The Prime Bookshelfs go from "meh" to legit in 2-channel.

Hey Andrew! Great reviews that even the non-audiophile can understand. In this video you kind of leaned toward the Jamo S803 Home Cinema pack vs this (with the exception of the sub). Which would you recommend for a medium room, with both being driven by the Yamaha RX-V6A? This SVS Prime Satellite Speaker System or the Jamo S803 Home Cinema pack paired with an SVS SB-1000 sub. With the addition a of a quality sub to the Jamo S803s, the price difference is negligible. Looking at 90%/10% home theater to music. I am leaning toward the Jamo S803s because of the ease of future upgrade to Atmos. Thoughts?

Hi Andrew, in your professional opinion with the matching of device such as Klipsch the Five and SVS SB1000/ 2000. Can this combination produce an immersive fidelity, and if answer is otherwise can further elaborate? Appreciate any inputs.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

The SB-1000 would pair great with The Fives, though the finish options wouldn't match. Adding a sub to The Fives would allow them to open up a little in the midrange, lose some of that chestiness (provided you set the sub up correctly) and thus turn them into an affective full-range speaker system.

[@taylorsimonr]

Great video, thank you again for another informative review. So - I have two main questions, both home theatre related because if I get the house move I'm hoping for I may have room enough to seperate films and music into two different rooms. Firstly, subwoofer aside, with music and a two channel set up all the music imaging and depth comes from the left and the right channel. The percussion is there, right back, the vocalist is up front, dead centre, the lead guitar is slightly back and to the left of the lead singer and the backing vocals are lurking at the rear left of the soundstage. It's all there, either filling the room or sitting between the speakers depending on the equipment or the recording (or both of course) so why are there so many more speakers than 4 in a theatre set up? Why do you need the centre channel at the front mainly, of the 5 channel setup when the stereo speaker system can already place sound there. And equally, why can't (or don't) the two rear speakers work with the fronts to place sounds between them - what advantage is there in putting speakers in between the front and the rears? Overall that question boils down to why not just have a quadraphonic speaker system? The second part of the question is to do with that center speaker - other than aesthetics, is there any reason that a typical (consumer level) centre speaker is designed symetrically with a midrange driver either side of the tweeter? Sorry for bombarding you with the questions Andrew. I'm just curious to learn more.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Quadraphonic was our first attempts at "home theater" if you will. The reason it's not the norm is the fact that we can mix and encode content with discrete channel or speaker information. You can have a home theater without a center speaker/channel, but if you're listening to a Dolby soundtrack but lack a center, that info is going to be split between your left and right main speakers anyway (provided you didn't mess up and tell your receiver you have a center connected). But just know that Dolby and DTS soundtracks have a dedicated center signal, so why not have a speaker to take advantage of it. Second, most home center speakers are horizontal because of TVs. Simply put, need a speaker that "fits" below or above a screen. In a commercial cinema, the center speaker is NOT horizontal but the same as the left and right speakers (or in some instances two of the same speakers). Great questions! Thanks for asking and for watching!

What would be considered as a small to medium room in terms of square footage?

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

In my opinion a small room is like a bedroom or den, maybe 8x10 or 10x12 feet. A medium room would perhaps be 12x14 or 14/6x16/18/20 feet. Large rooms in my opinion are 18+ x 22+ feet in size. If you have high ceilings that too factors into room size and can make a medium size room a large one based on height.

Home Theater System noob here, do you think this speaker set would match up well with the Aventage RX-A2A?

[@dominus519]

I use two sb-1000 in a 5.2.2 monitor audio setup. It really makes a difference. Way better dynamics. In room 4 - 5 hz lower with a 3db gain. I have a small ht. 3.5 x 3.5 x 2 metres.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

That sounds like it would be a lot of bass!

[@dominus519]

@@andrewrobinsonreviews Good bass is never enough 🙂

[@jasoneisenberg1178]

Can you review the Jamo subs, such as the s810 you mentioned in this review, or the c910 | c912. Your review of the Jamo Concert and Studio towers were rave, but what about the matching subs? Thanks so much!

[@theforetfl]

Thanks for your intelligent reviews. I have a 14 year old Aperion Intimus 6T system, and am currently considering either SVS ultra tower system, or the Aperion Verus III towers with matching peripherals. I would be interested in your views on the top Aperion System, there are multitudes of reviews on the SVS Ultras but no real content on the Aperions. BTW my sub duty is handled nicely by an old school SVS pb12 plus 2.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

I like Aperion though it has been a number of years since I've demoed them. I think you'd be well suited either way, so it's up to you.

[@mikester1480]

What about the Audioengine 5+?

Atmos home theater on a budget or Bose Lifstyles 650 home ent sys

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Are you asking which you should consider? If so, there are numerous Atmos HT packages on a budget, so I'm not sure which to point you to.

[@markrowe8824]

they've already done Atmos on a budget in a previous video, by the way you sent the same comment twice, just because you didn't get an answer within 30 second's of posting doesn't mean you can keep sending it, that's called spamming.

[@mattf0509]

I’ve been seriously considering this system vs the Klipsch 5.0.2 system from Costco with 2 subs added. I would greatly appreciate your input on which system would be a better experience for me since there is nowhere around me to listen before I buy.

[@ulissepellegrino7175]

I'm going for 5 SVS satellites with the SB 2000 pro sub and eventually an additional sub.

[@SurajKumar-AskMe]

Hi Andrew, Can you please review the Wharfedale Evo 4 based HT system? Heard a lot of praises about the Evo 4.4

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

I'll have to give it a look to see if it's something I want to review. Thanks for the tip!

[@mikemmikem2758]

Why didn't you place the center vertically? Or, pair 2 of these for center channel. I'm a big fan of svs with 2 PB1000 subs and 4 Elevation surrounds.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

Should probably never use 2, but placing it vertically would’ve been a better choice for consistency in sound as you move left to right in a room. Most MTM style center speakers are really just terrible at this as well. You need tweeter-over-mid, or coaxial designs ideally.

[@naushadali6784]

Hi Andrew, could you do a review on Bose lifestyle systems as well.Thks.Any model will do.Thks

[@spaceninja6476]

Been thinking of buying white speakers. But never thought about white speakers reflect the tv image. Good to know! Andrew could you please review the new LG soundbar (sn11rg)

[@-onemoretry]

How would these work for just side and surround duties?

[@govindrajpai7899]

Go for bookshelf ones. Better to start with a good higher qaulity then looking later to upgrade and end up spending more.

[@sahilpahwa]

Please review the jbl stage a130s speakers in a home theatre..along with a mid range yamaha or pioneer amp

[@marijanWS]

I would like to see a review on the satellite speakers Dali Fazon Sat since they might be good but you don't find a lot of in depth review on the internet. The design is very good and they are very compact as well but do they hold up to their steep price (270.- for each)?!
